Question : How do I get a user ID from a logged in user and include it in my query

Experts,

I have been trying for a week to get this figured out, and am so close I can taste it.  Please help me over the hump!!!  I am trying to pass value from a user profile (logged in), to an HTML form.

The only thing holding me back is this query

1:	$query = "SELECT firstname, id, lastname, cb_company FROM jos_comprofiler WHERE id=64" ;

I am able to get the desired result when I add a static value for the id.  How do I change that value to whoever the logged in user is???

this accesses the logged in user $_CB_framework->myId(), but inserting that into the query breaks the operation.

I am ABSOLUTE novice, so baby language please.

Thank you in advance

$query_id=$_CB_framework->myId();

$query = "SELECT firstname, id, lastname, cb_company FROM jos_comprofiler WHERE id=$query_id" ;
