making a link work.

[seany123]

Basically for a game im making theres a home page which shows the players name... The name is a link to the players profile.php page.

 

ive given it a try here but cant seem to get it working.

 

<td width="90" bgcolor="#000000" class="style5"><strong>Name</strong></td>
    <td width="10" bgcolor="#000000" class="style5"> </td>
    <td width="176" bgcolor="#000000" class="style5"><a href=\"profile.php?id=" . $member['username'] .class="style7"><?=$player->username?>
    </a></td>

 

profile.php?id=admin is the link to "my" players profile... but it for other it will still only link to my profile.

It would be more help if we had the profile.php code instead.

<?php
include("lib.php");
define("PAGENAME", "Profile");
$player = check_user($secret_key, $db);

//Check for user ID
if (!$_GET['id'])
{
header("Location: members.php");
}
else
{
$query = $db->execute("select `id`, `username`, `registered`, `level`, `kills`, `deaths`, `hp` from `players` where `username`=?", array($_GET['id']));
if ($query->recordcount() == 0)
{
	header("Location: members.php");
}
else
{
	$profile = $query->fetchrow();
}
}

include("templates/private_header.php");
?>


<fieldset>
<legend><?=$profile['username']?>'s Profile</legend>
<table width="90%">
<tr>
<td width="50%">Username:</td>
<td width="50%"><?=$profile['username']?> (<a href="mail.php?act=compose&to=<?=$profile['username']?>">Mail</a>)</td>

<?=$profile['style']?>

<?php
$diff = time() - $profile['registered'];
$age = intval(($diff / 3600) / 24);
?>

It looks like in your first post you are mixing some php in with html.  You have some quotes escaped, but its within regular html (from what you've posted anyway).

 

Try:

<td width="176" bgcolor="#000000" class="style5"><a href="profile.php?id="<?php echo $member['username']; ?>" class="style7"><?=$player->username?>
    </a></td>

 

 

[CroNiX]

Also, if you want your code to be able to run on all servers, don't use short tags.  Use the full php tag <?php

[seany123]

firstly... i tired the code you gave.. it just linked me to profile.php. so it didnt work,

 

second what do you mean by all servers?

[CroNiX]

Not all servers have short tags enabled, so it won't work on all servers, but <?php works everywhere. 

 

Ah, I left one of your original quotes in after profile.php?id=, try:

<a href="profile.php?id=<?php echo $member['username']; ?>" class="style7"><?=$player->username?>
    </a>

 

[seany123]

the link is saying profile.php?id=

 

because it doesn't finish off which id to go to, its just linking me still to profile.php

[CroNiX]

that would mean $member['username'] is empty on your end.

what happens if you <?php echo 'username='.$member['username']; ?>

[seany123]

just get:

 

username=

 

and nothing else

[CroNiX]

It looks like you have an error, it seems $members should be $profile maybe (going by the 2nd post in the thread).

try: $profile['username'];

[seany123]

Still taking me straight to Profile.php

 

wow i never thought this would be so difficult.

[seany123]

anyone else have any ideas on how this could work?

[CroNiX]

after this line:

<?php
$profile = $query->fetchrow();

add this and post the result:

<?php
echo "<pre>"; print_r($profile); echo "</pre>";

That will tell us if you are receiving your data.

[seany123]

add that in my profile.php?

If that is the 2nd code you posted (with colored highlighting) yes.
