I am getting people's first and last names this way:

$_UFName = get_user_meta($_uid, 'first_name', true);
$_ULName = get_user_meta($_uid, 'last_name', true);

where

$_uid

is the persons id I pulled in a query from the users table.

How do I get their username? this code:

$_UUName = get_user_meta($_uid, 'user_login', true);

that is not working. It is blank.

Is there a way to get it from the user meta?

thx, Richard

The username is not a user meta entry, so you'll probably want to work with a WP_User object instead:

$user = get_user_by( 'id', $_uid );
echo $user->user_login;
