I was wondering how I would go about getting the user's username. What i want to do is display it like this:
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/usercp.php?action=profile">Username here</a>
I tried this:
{$mybb->user['name']}'
But that was unsuccessful and I cannot seem to find anything on Google.
Thanks for any help!

Try to put this one into your template.
{$mybb->user['username']}
No need to use PHP for an existed variable.

And you can combine all like this, i think.
<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require ('global.php'); // be sure that u r running this php-code in the same
// directory of global.php, or else change the path.
if($mybb->user['uid'] > 0)
{
$uid = $mybb->user['uid'];
$user = get_user($uid);
$name = $user['username'];
}
// custom else here: in case of not logged-in user
?>
<a href="{$mybb->settings['bburl']}/usercp.php?action=profile"><?echo $name?></a>

I am not that experienced with MyBB but after some research i found a few different ways.
$user = get_user($uid);
echo $user['username'];
or
global $db;
$qry = $db->query("SELECT uid FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."users WHERE username = '".$usernamevar."'");
