Getting userid and display name

    Hello all! This is probably a fairly n00bish question but how does one find the userid? I want to get it for a chat plug-in I am developing. Then the next step from that would be getting the users full name from the userid. I have this currently hard-coded into the header.php before the HTML is loaded:

    $username = bp_core_get_username( $bp->loggedin_user->id );
    session_start();

    echo $username;
    $_SESSION = $username; // Must be already set

    but it’s value always seems to be blank (or NULL/nil)
    Any suggestions? Thanks
