title: get User name in wordpress and post with form
body: <p>using this code in wordpress: <code>&lt;input hidden="hidden" type="text" value="&lt;?php wp_get_current_user(); ?&gt;" name="USER" /&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I am trying to post the current logged in user (wordpress) to another php file. It works fine for all my other inputs but somehow USER returns blank. Any ideas on why this might happen?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for your suggestions.</p>
