Wordpress wp_get_current_user() not showing result

I'm just testing some PHP to try and find out what role a user has because I want to try and do the following:

foreach($current_user->roles as $key => $value){
    if($value == ''){
        $npl= true;
    }
}

Basically updating $npl to true if no user role is chosen.

The code below only returns Array when it should be showing me a fair bit more than that.

<?php

include 'wp-blog-header.php';

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

echo "id:" . $current_user;

        foreach($current_user->roles as $key => $value){
            if($value == ''){
                echo "yes";
            }
            else {
                echo "no";
            }
        }

print_r(array_values($user->roles));

?>

array

I've tried at several stages to make it work but showing the id early isn't showing anything either

EDIT

I even tried:

<?php

include '../wp-blog-header.php';
include '../includes/wp-load.php';
include_once('../wp-config.php');

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;

echo 'Username: ' . $current_user->user_login . '<br />';
echo 'User email: ' . $current_user->user_email . '<br />';
echo 'User first name: ' . $current_user->user_firstname . '<br />';
echo 'User last name: ' . $current_user->user_lastname . '<br />';
echo 'User display name: ' . $current_user->display_name . '<br />';
echo 'User ID: ' . $current_user->ID . '<br />';

foreach($current_user->roles as $key => $value){
    if($value == ''){
        echo "yes" . '<br />';
    }
    else {
        echo "no" . '<br />';
    }
}

print_r(array_values($current_user->roles));

echo '<br />' . "The time is " . date("h:i:sa");

?>

I got your question and since yet, no one gave you the correct answer, i have what your are looking for. I used it recently on the WP API to give sensible access to some users based on if the current-user has the appropriate permission. Here is my code.

function check_user_role(){

global $ne;

//check current user capabilities to determin the role type he pocess
if (!current_user_can('activate_plugins')) {
    $ne =  "Subscriber";
} else {
    $ne =  "admintrator";
}

$infos = array(
    'role' => $ne
);

return $ne;
}

echo check_user_role();

I hope it will help you. ☻☻☻☻

There is error in your code try this:

<?php

include 'wp-blog-header.php';

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = $current_user->ID;
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

echo "id:" . $user_id;

    foreach($current_user->roles as $key => $value){
        if($value == ''){
            echo "yes";
        }
        else {
            echo "no";
        }
    }

    print_r(array_values($current_user->roles));

  ?>

You are calling $current_user directly which gives array as output.

Please include wp-load.php and load file is on root. So please include load file

The simplest way to require/include wp-load.php

If you want to use WordPress functionality in a PHP file that exists outside of your WordPress installation then you need to include wp-load.php. Perhaps you could call this “hooking into WordPress”.

Maybe you’re already using some sort of relative path method, like:

But this can create problems if directories change. You need a clean, dynamic way to get wp-load.php. So here is the simplest way to do it, with just two lines of code (place it at the very top of your file):

<?php include '../../../wp-load.php'; ?>

Short and sweet :)

Disclaimer: This is intended for experimental and development purposes only. It is not advised to redundantly load WordPress on live production environments. But, why?
