Myth:Auth

I put this together tonight may help you.

PHP Code:

    // -------------------------------------------------------------------

    /**
     * getUser ()
     * -------------------------------------------------------------------
     *
     * Usage:
     * NOTE: $id can be left blank it will then user the auth_helper
     *       user_id() method. But this only works if user is logged in.
     *
     * $user = $this->getUser($id);
     * $user = $this->getUser();
     *
     * echo $user->username;
     *
     * @param  int $id
     * @return object
     */
    public function getUser(int $id = 0) : object
    {
        $data = [];

        // connect to the database.
        $db = db_connect();
        $builder = $db->table('users');

        /**
         * check user id if it does not exsist we assign the admin id
         * to avoid error.
         */
        if ($id == 0)
        {
            // get the logged in user
            if (user_id() != null)
            {
                $id = user_id();
            }
            else
            {
                $id = 1;
            }
        }

        // get the users record.
        $query = $builder->where('id', $id)
                         ->get();

        $results = $query->getResult();

        foreach ($results as $row)
        {
            $data = $row;
        }

        $query->freeResult();

        return $data;
    } 


Returns the complete user object.

10-15-2020 - Update to do better error checking on the user id.
