What are you looking for?

As it is your module/function it will be called from somewhere else. And in this somewhere else, you could add any argument in the url to your module (or a key to fetch it from the rest of the ezp kernel/libs)

------------------------------------------------
edit:

Like for instance

$user =& eZUser::currentUser();

to return the current user object which holds the basic attributes of the ezuser datatype.

Thanks for the information Paul it has been really helpful.

I didn't want to use the url method of passing information since I'm working on a form system that requires identifying the user completing of the form. If I passed the information via the URL then the person could simply change the url to something different.

As I was looking through the code for ezuser I didn't see anyway to get the users full name. I can get the login, email address and id but there doesn't seem to be a method for accessing the full name of the person.

I thought that I was going to get something by using $name =& eZUserType::title($user["Login"]);

That took me to this error: Fatal error: Undefined class name 'ezusertype'
Which I resolved by including: include_once("kernel/classes/datatypes/ezuser/ezusertype.php");

Which got me to this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: objectattributecontent()

This must be an inaccurate error message since the next function defined in ezusertype is: function &objectAttributeContent

So, I'm guessing that I'm either trying to access the eZUserType::title function wrong or I'm just completely lost in space.

Thanks,
Ken C.
