Question: How can I retrieve EE variables such as member_id to use in PHP code? For example to create an edit link for articles.
Answer: You can do the following:
<?php
global $SESS;
$member = $SESS->userdata['member_id'];
$group = $SESS->userdata['group_id'];
if (($member == {author_id}) || ($group == 1)) {
echo 'The edit link goes here.';
}
?>
NOTE: The if statement is checking for the author_id matching the member_id or the group id of 1, which is the super admin.
