How can I get the current user_id?

Hi,

I am using component Community Builder, and I have a own-created php-file which is loaded only for the first time a user loggs in. There is a button, on which a php function updates a field in the jos_component table.

The problem is, I don't know how to get the user_id of the logged user. (I need it because I want to update his field in this table)

Can anyone explain to me, how i can get this? Perhaps include a certain php file?

If you are running J! 1.5.x, you can get the user_id with

Code: Select all

$user = &JFactory::getUser();
$user_id = $user->get('id');
