@Soheyl Using user_load($user->uid) is just an example. In your code you will use the user ID you have, if you have one, or the code shown in this answer, if you need to save a field for the currently logged-in user.

Welcome! No, you need the $user->uid to user_load a user and then when you user_save to update the user. The uid is a field attached to the $user entity, do a describe users; to your database and you will see all the available user fields. Thus, we are never getting the user id in the way you mean it, as a single/isolated value, instead, we are getting the user object with all its fields attached (from the db) and we decide to which field(s) to refer to.
