Get to profile ID on profile page for phpblock

I'm using a phpblock on the profile page (/someuser) and I'm having a hard time getting the member ID of the member being displayed, so that I can look up their profile info and display it in the php block.  I've tried $profileID, and _GET("ID") but these seem out of scope.  How can I get the member ID (not the ID of the currently logged in user)?

pm

give this a try

bx_get('id');

Good luck

profile.php has the code that does this.

$profileID = getID( $_GET['ID'] );

So. $profileID should have worked for you if the block is on the profile page. I had no problems during my tests.

wait a second you can only get id of the viewed profile if a profile page page it being viewed.

so $profileID should work.

this also returns the id of profile being viewed

$this->oProfileGen->_iProfileID

Thanks,

 That did it.
