Hello all,

I hope my question is in the right place. I am currently programming and am always faced with puzzles.

What do I want to do: Find out the "groupid" of a user.
What do I want it for: We are a gaming community and I want to create an "automated" member overview in the form of a table. Our forum uses different groups to show the affiliation/hierarchy of various members within the community. For each of these "groupid" there is an individual picture. Based on this ID, I would like to load the corresponding image.

Although I am a programmer, my knowledge is limited to LabVIEW and other machines. What I want and how it should work is clear to me, but how to implement it in PHP/HTML is a mystery to me.

For example, I load the displayed user name like this:
$user = get_user_by( 'id', $id );
echo $user->display_name;
($id is a sample variable, as my WIP code is not nice at the moment).

Now I thought a "$user->groupid" can help me as well. Unfortunately this is not the case.

How do I get the groupid?
Is it even called groupid?
And is there a source I can find out myself without having to steal your valuable time on a forum?

Attached are two screenshots to show the object of desire. Sorry it's German.

FYI why "PHP/HTML": The code itself is PHP but creates a table with HTML via "echo".

With kind regards
Forro
