                    Just wanted to say I LOVE being able to add my own vars and have them parse in the blocks!
I'm really getting a lot of use out of that!

                    Yes, you can use your own variables.

                    Thank you!
Is output a special variable or can I reference my on variables like that?
For example, if I have something like $myGreeting in the php section can I then referece {$myGreetin) in the HTML section?

                    You should use a variable like $output instead of using echo. Then you can use {$output} in the HTML part.
                  
                  
                  
                 
               
          
I'm testing for a logged in user using this:
if (strlen($user['user_username']) > 0){However, I haven't found a way to make the php part of the block communicate with the html part.
I tried just moving everything into the php section but I could not update the block without having html.
My goal is to display a standard block if a user isn't logged in and if the user is logged in, display some information about the user (such as user name, userid etc.).
