Already looked at that. Looking for a basic working example.

There is no support for the api at all lol. If you want to use an api, look elsewhere.

get_user($guid)

thanks i kept looking for something that had by id(ex. get_user_by_id) in it lol.

http://reference.elgg.org can help a lot with this stuff.  Also, if you're using an IDE that support PHPDoc / Jdoc commenting syntax, it'll help too.
