I have a problem to retrieve the user id logged on joomla 1.5 from an external php script, I tried the following code but the problem is that sometimes it works very well and sometimes not work anymore :

define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__).'/../..');
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );


require_once( dirname(__FILE__) .'/../../libraries/loader.php' );
JLoader::import( 'joomla.factory');
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) .'/../../configuration.php' );
$row = new JConfig();

mysql_connect($row->host,$row->user,$row->password)
or die("erreur de connexion au serveur $$row->host");
mysql_select_db($row->db) or die("erreur de connexion a la base de donnees");

$user = &JFactory::getuser();
$iduser_f = $user->id;
$username = $user->username;

the problem is that $iduser_f sometimes return the id of user and lot of times returns 0.
Thank you for support

Then you have to focus on when it fails (0) and when it gives correct result.
