SOLVED: SimpleMachines Forum: extracing the memberName from the session

I'm helping out a friend who wants to use a SimpleMachinesForum installation as a roleplaying game tool, and wants to create a character table for each user in mySQL that is tied to a user in the forums.

Example:

smf_members
| ID_MEMBER |   memberName | ...
| 1         |  patch       |
| 2         |  Evan        |

character_patch
| OWNER_ID | CharName | 
| 1        | Ghost    |

character_Evan
| OWNER_ID | CharName |
| 2        | Niobe    |


My first question is hopefully relatively simple: How can I retrieve the memberName of the current session? I can read the session_id(), but I seem to be running into trouble gathering the memberName, which will be used to create the new table...

Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated.

Edit: Solved!

Required code:


include ('path/to/smf/ssi.php');

echo 'USER ID: ' . $context['user']['id'];
echo '<br />Username: ' . $context['user']['username'];
echo '<br />Display name: ' . $context['user']['name'];
echo '<br /> Email: ' . $context['user']['email'];
echo '<br /> IP Address: ' . $user_info['ip'];
echo '<br /> Posts: ' . $user_info['posts'];
