Reliable Variables in (registration_activate_process) hook

I have an open post over a vBulletin.org about this one but was hoping I could run this past you guys ( registration_activate_process variables problem - vBulletin.org Forum )

The long and short of it is that I'm trying to create a plugin that runs at the registration_activate_process hook. (I'm assuming this is the best place to run "post-confirmed email/useraccount" code)

So once the user clicks the "confirm my account" link in their confirmation email, the $vbulletin->userinfo[username]; variable during the run at registration_activate_process is set to "Unregistered" instead of the actual username like the other 60% of the time.

Is there a way I can always, 100% of the time, pull the username of the user that just clicked the "email confirmation link" successfully? Another hook location, or variable?

I hope that made sense... sometimes I think I have a harder time wording a question that actually working on it..

What if you try

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['username'] 


The variables were empty when I used:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->GPC['username'] 


But I think I may have pinpointed the problem (my head is so fried... lol)

So when I have cookies disabled during registration I get:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo[username] = Unregistered 


And when cookies are enabled during registration I get:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->userinfo[username] = Correct User Name 


tested that theory 4 times now and it seems to be accurate.

Any ideas for always being able to collect data from $vbulletin->userinfo[username] even if cookies are disabled on the userside during the registration_activate_process hook run?

Ok try:

PHP Code:

$userinfo['username'] 


That got it!! Thank you Michael!

So what is the difference between $vbulletin->userinfo[username]; and $userinfo['username']; ?

The second was in scope.

This seems to be working flawlessly except lately i've noticed that it's missed out a few members and not added them to my mailing list.

Any ideas why this would happen? Here's my plugin code;

Code:

$username = $userinfo['username']; 
$email= $userinfo['email']; 
$userid= $userinfo['userid']; 


$xml = "<xmlrequest> 
    <username>admin</username> 
    <usertoken>XX8410b36f01de9fe7df722ab2864677afddfaXX</usertoken> 
    <requesttype>subscribers</requesttype> 
    <requestmethod>AddSubscriberToList</requestmethod> 
    <details> 
        <emailaddress>$email</emailaddress> 
        <mailinglist>1</mailinglist> 
        <format>html</format> 
        <confirmed>yes</confirmed> 
        <customfields> 
            <item> 
                <fieldid>12</fieldid> 
                <value>$username</value> 
            </item> 
            <item> 
                <fieldid>13</fieldid> 
                <value>$userid</value> 
            </item> 
        </customfields> 
    </details> 
</xmlrequest> 
"; 

$ch = curl_init('http://www.maximum-jackson.com/interspire/xml.php'); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); 
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $xml); 
$result = @curl_exec($ch); 
if($result === false) { 
    echo "Error performing request"; 
} 
else { 
    $xml_doc = simplexml_load_string($result); 
    //echo 'Status is ', $xml_doc->status, '<br/>'; 
    if ($xml_doc->status == 'SUCCESS') { 
        //echo 'Data is ', $xml_doc->data, '<br/>'; 
    } else { 
        //echo 'Error is ', $xml_doc->errormessage, '<br/>'; 
    } 
}  

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
