Usage example

This really short and simple example will display the username, user ID and the groups which the currently logged-in user belongs to (I'm sure you get the idea).

&lt;?php

class Phpbb_library_test extends Controller
{
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        
        $this->load->database();
        $this->load->library('session');
        $this->load->library('phpbb_library');
    }
    
    function index()
    {
        if ($this->phpbb_library->isLoggedIn() === TRUE)
        {
            $userId = $this->phpbb_library->getUserInfo('user_id');
            $username = $this->phpbb_library->getUserInfo('username');

            echo "Welcome $username (" . ($this->phpbb_library->isAdministrator() === TRUE ? "administrator" : "user") . "), your ID is $userId and you are member of the following groups";

            foreach ($this->phpbb_library->getUserGroupMembership() as $group)
            {
                echo "$group <br />";

        else

        }
