Display Author name with PHP (Selfmade PlugIn)

Hello to all,

I have a problem for which I need help, because I just can not find a solution myself.

I have taken over a site where a selfmade plugin was created by someone before..
Using the default plug-in „Contact Form 7“, people can create posts on the page. ( https://gyazo.com/c8b20adecacd90fb9bfe72ad2138a980 )
About the self-created plug-in „Contact Form 7 extender“, the post is generated in the background via a PHP code. (https://gyazo.com/115a6c7c9afafd2970b66fd421ca76a3)

This is how it should work:
If a user is not logged in, the author becomes „Hyperspace_Bot“.
If a user is logged in, the Author name of the user is displayed.

Now the problem:
When a user who is logged in creates a post via the contact form, no Author is displayed….

As you can see on the screenshots again, there is no author entered. Currently I always have to enter them manually afterwards.

Here is the important part of the code of the plug-in:

add_action('wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'createPostData' );

function createPostData() {
         //get user id
         //$user = get_userdatabylogin('myusername');
         //$user = get_user_by('login', $user_login);
         //$udi = $user->ID;

         get_currentuserinfo();

         if ($_POST['aut'] == '') {
                 // Create post object
                 $my_post = array(
                         'post_title' => $_POST['title'],
                         'post_content' => $_POST['Description'],
                         'post_status' => 'pending',
                         'post_author' => 3,
                         'post_category' => array($_POST['postcategory'])
                 );
         } else {
                 $my_post = array(
                         'post_title' => $_POST['title'],
                         'post_content' => $_POST['Description'],
                         'post_status' => 'publish',
                         //'post_author' => $user,
                         'post_author' => $user_ID,
                         'post_category' => array($_POST['postcategory'])
                 );
         }

The problem is with ‚post_author‘ => $User_ID in the second part I think…. I’ve already tried different ways with get_current_user_id() or $author_id = get_the_author_meta( ‚ID‘ ), but can’t find a solution.

If someone has an idea, I would be very grateful!

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards
Fabian
