Just made this for my script:

PHP Code:

GetPlayerID(givenname[])
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    for(new x = 0, t = GetPlayerPoolSize(); x <= t; x++)
    {
        if(IsPlayerConnected(x))
        {
            GetPlayerName(x, name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
            if(!strcmp(givenname, name, false)) return x;
        }
    }
    return INVALID_PLAYER_ID;
} 


It returns the ID of the player who has the specified name, or INVALID_PLAYER_ID if player isn't found. The given name must match 100%.

Take this one too:

PHP Code:

GetName(playerid, bool:us=false)
{
    new name[MAX_PLAYER_NAME];
    GetPlayerName(playerid, name, MAX_PLAYER_NAME);
    if(us)
    {
        for(new i = 0; i < MAX_PLAYER_NAME; i++)
        {
            if(name[i] == '_') name[i] = ' ';
        }
    }
    return name;
} 


Returns the name of the player with the specified ID, if us is set to true it'll remove the underscores.
