I have a simple HTML page that lists certain members of my board. What I want to do is have those names change automatically if they change their public name. In other words, I want it to pull the most current display name for a list of members each time this page loads.
How can I accomplish this?

Is it viewed by the public or just you?

I think everyone as he could probably care less if they change their names  ... Wait on brett, he has a php function built just for pulling PDN's on a project he's doing for me ...

I've got one of those already done: function UBB_login_bits($CGIURL) {
if (isset($_COOKIE["ubber{$Cookie_Number}"])) {
$ubbinfo = split("&",$_COOKIE["ubber{$Cookie_Number}"]);
$ubbdisplayname = $ubbinfo[2];
$ubbhexpwd = $ubbinfo[1];
$ubbmemberid = $ubbinfo[4];
$displine = "<font size="1">Welcome <a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=my_profile">".$ubbdisplayname."</a> [<a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=logoff">Logoff</a>]</font>";
echo($displine);
} else {
echo("<font size="1"><a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=login">Login</a>, <a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=agree">Register</a> or <a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=lost_password">Lost Password</a></font>
");
}
}Note: I am including my vars_config.inc.php to get the $CGIURL and the cookie number

But it doesn't help me with my specific problem. As I said, I have a list of people to contend with. It is a list that everyone will see. Example: quote:
This line mentions member #2221. And this line mentions member # 3334.
I want this to look like: quote:
[qb]This line mentions Jake the Snake.
And this line mentions The Iron Sheik.[/qb] The list of member numbers will be hardcoded, but I want the names to change if they change their display name.

The code Sub posted above should relay the PDN. You'll need to adapt it a bit but it basically replicates the welcome on the board...

Actually, for his list, we might need to do some reading of pdnlist.cgi

Here's some quick and untested code to get the DispName of the usernumber you pass to it, with the leading zeros: function UBB_dispname($ubbmemberid) {
// UBB.classic Variables
$varspath = "/path/to/noncgi";
include("$varspath/vars_config.inc.php");
$ubbpath = $MembersPath . "/";
$ubbmemberfile = $ubbpath . $ubbmemberid . ".cgi";
if (file_exists($ubbmemberfile)) {
$ubbfileinfo = file($ubbmemberfile);
$ubbdisplayname = trim($ubbfileinfo[15]);
}
echo "<a href="$CGIURL/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=profile;u=$ubbmemberid">$ubbdispname</a>
";
}

Could you do me a favor and write me a sample HTML page with your function that displays, say, member #2? I can’t seem to get mine working.

As mentioned earlier by Gizzy, i was helping him out making a PHP readable script. Right now, it just reads the user cookie, but functions are in there to do other things like get profile by login name or public name. http://www.pavioni.com/profile.txt To get a profile by number just use the function. $profile = OpenProfile('00000001');
$profile = OpenProfile('1');This file can be use/modified for reference as needed by anyone.
