How do I call a profile's username from the database? was created by nonlinearmind

I need to be able to query the database and retrieve the username of the profile currently displayed (not the viewer's username). I've been it to use elsewhere, but am unable to find what variable to use.

For example: I, or anyone visits Bob Smith's profile. My php code queries the database to get Bob Smith's username to be used elsewhere.

Can anyone help me out?
