 * So basically, I’m writing my own small PHP script to display different sidebar
   content based on the author of a post. Just a simple if elseif statement, but
   I need to have a way for the script to determine who the author is. We currently
   use CoAuthors Plus, and I was curious if there was a way to reference a variable
   or collect data from an entirely different PHP script, since the data for this
   would obviously be in a plugin? Is this possible?
