$_GET['username']

Look at where you're sending the info in the URL in your .htaccess.

nope soprry i have allready tired that,,, both $_GET['username'] and $_GET['user']... in my firends script i used this and it worked

<?php
session_start();

include "../settings.php";

if ( !empty($_GET['user']) ) {
if ( ctype_alnum($_GET['user']) && strlen($_GET['user']) <= 10 ) {
  // further test and escape data
}
  $username =($_GET['user']); 
$id = $_SESSION['user_id'];  

$get_username_value = get_username($id);
$query = "INSERT INTO friend_requests (username ,by_user) VALUES('{$_GET[user]}', '$get_username_value')";
  $result= mysql_query($query)
    or die("QUERY ERROR:<br />{$query}<br />" . mysql_error() );

  echo "$username has been sent a request you must now wait for it to be accepted";
  // useful in troubleshooting the SQL statement
  

} else {
  echo "No request was made";
} 
?> [code]

[/code]

if($_POST['submit']) {

// Verify if the fields were filled.
if(!$_POST['message']) {
echo 'Error, You need to post a Message!';
die;
}

// Date format

$date = date("d/m/y"); // http://www.php.net/date

// Assign variables of the forms
// Connect to the database

include('../settings.php');
$user1 = $_POST['usersaccount'];
$id = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$username = get_username($id);
$message = $_POST['message'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];





// Insert the info in the shoutbox table.
$query = "INSERT INTO shoutbox (`user`, username, message, date, ip)
VALUES ('$user1','$username','$message','$date','$ip')";
mysql_query($query);
// close connection


// Show message to let them return to the shoutbox
?>
<div align="center">Thank you for submitting.<br>
Return to the <a href="shoutbox.php">shoutbox</a>!
<?php
// If NOT submitted
} else {




$query = "SELECT * FROM shoutbox ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3";
$result = mysql_query($query);
// Create a table
?>

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">

<?
// Run a While loop for the rows
while($c = mysql_fetch_array($result))

</table>
</form>

<?php } ?>

</body>
</html>

is it because i need to do somethingwith action="box.php" .... this page is actually box.php itself so allits really doing is sending it back to this page....

the page i have included this script on has the name in the url... if i went to just mywebsite.com/box.php it would look like that so i included it on http://www.mywebsite.com/username i thought i best tell you all this as it might be very improtant lol
