Thanks Ant, Yes getCreatedBy() returns the id of the user (which in this case is "1") so myscript echoes "Created by 1" Instead of: "Created by Craig"
I tried what you suggest and I get the following error: Call to undefined method Project::getUser() when trying: $project->getUser()->getNameFirst(); Any suggestions?
