How to get the current user object in Joomla 1.5?
In Joomla 1.0, the current custom object was stored in a global variable named $my
. This no longer exists in Joomla 1.5 - how do I get this object? Also, how can you tell if the user will enter?

Information found at http://docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
And how to tell if they are logged in, or if they are just a guest:
if ($user->guest) {
echo "Please log in.";
} else {
echo "Welcome!";
}
