Thank you for this help.

 

Could you explain how you set the $ID and $name variables?

 

Thanks again,

So I am a HUGE NOOB to PHP!

 

Can anyone make a suggestion about how to grab an entry ID from a database and work with it in an update form?

 

Thanks!

I just wanted to thank everyone for the help they have given me so far, but.....

 

The suggestion I was given was to use the following link on my website... www.mywebsite.com/profile.php?id=1

 

If I were to use this link I would have to input all of the code to the links like so....

<a href=http://www.mywebsite.com/profile.php?id=1><p>user's name<p><a>

 

Is there a way so I do not have to do this link for all of my 151 pages on a master profile list page?

 

Again, let me just fill you in, users are not making theses pages. I am creating these pages from the back end and I am using a standard profile.php. These pages are profiles of people that I am creating. There are no sessions!

 

Thanks again!

Right, but im not really sure what the "id of those corresponding profiles" is. In my MYSQL database I have auto incrementing id numbers and last names, which is what I will id them by. How do I select that as the id in the corresponding link to the profile? For example link to Max Baldwin's profile.

Hello all,

 

I am having trouble creating an $ID variable. Here is the deal, I am building a universal profile.php page where all of the data from my data tables will fall into that template, for example First Name: [$firstname]. The problem is that the $ID for these pages is not generated by a session. I need the site visitor to click a link and be directed to this profile.php. My problem is that I cannot figure out the link for the user to click and identify the $ID of the link that they clicked from my database.

 

Does anyone know the answer or have a better build suggestion??
