SOLVED: Lookup USERNAME by ID

[CONTEHHH]

hello, i have a list and different users are displayed in different fields.

currently, i run the user id through the database to return their username.

does joomla have a method to call up a username based on a user id?

like

userbase->id->123 = john
userbase->id->124 = bob

if not, it should!

SOLVED: didnt search hard enough :P

Code: Select all

$user = JFactory::getUser($userid);
$username=$user->get('username');
echo $username.'!';
