Including PHP in templates - with SWIFT values as parameters

[nume]

Hi,

I need to include a PHP script in some of our templates - in order to translate a username (fullname) into a value descriping the user.
Including and executing PHP in the template is not a problem - but including the SWITF username ($_USER[fullname]) as a GET parameter in the path for the PHP script is not possible. E.g. this does not work:
<?php include "example.php?user=<{$_USER[fullname]}>"; ?>

Any suggestions?

Best regards,

nume

or put differently...
Is it possible to access the template variables (like $_USER[fullname]) from PHP code embedded in a template?

I need to use the variable within my PHP script to look up at user id.

Maybe I just need to know which includes are necessary? :-)

Are you wanting to display the variable in your page or use it as another variable?

To test its working run

<? echo $_USER['fullname']; ?> that should echo the username back.. Bare in mind, you need to have all the includes called otherwise it wont work
