    Default Get FrontEnd username

    I have one database where frontend users can import csv files when they are logged in, using/calling prepared php script.

    I made a log table where I want to have information about every import (what file, username, ip, time).

    How I can get FE username of member who made the import? Is there some session variable that contain that data?

    If you are using the Framework of Contao then you can use:
    PHP Code:
    \FrontendUser::getInstance()->username 
    Maybe you need to execute
    PHP Code:
    \FrontendUser::getInstance()->authenticate() 
    first.

    From Contao page I am calling php script in external file with the form:

    Code:
    <form enctype='multipart/form-data' action='./import/iMatches.php' method='POST'>
    <input size='50' type='file' name='filename'>
    
    <input type='submit' name='Matches' value='Import Data'></form>
    so I don't know how to pass it to the script.

    Is this form generated with the form generator? If yes, create a new hidden field and use this insert tag as its value
    Code:
    {{user::username}}
    However, this data could be altered by someone. If you want to find out the username in your script (import/iMatches.php), then you need to add the following to the top of your script:
    PHP Code:
    // Initialize the system
    define('TL_MODE''FE');
    require 
    __DIR__ '/system/initialize.php'
    And then use
    PHP Code:
    if( \Contao\FrontendUser::getInstance()->authenticate() )
    {
        
    … \Contao\FrontendUser::getInstance()->username …

    I used the second method and it works.
