You can use database methods to execute a simple SQL query to do what you want.

I don't know if there is pre-written functionality in MyBB to do this.

i know that , but anyway ,thanks for replying, i am looking for inbuilt function like getuser()

There isn't one to get the uid from the username, because the forum only really works with uids in the code, it never needs to get the uid from the username.
