not sure what you would call this...

Hi guys,

 

Basicly i have built a login system with search members feature and when you go to testers profile you will see "Add as a friend" click it to add them, but say you searched for your own account and you clicked your profile the "Add as a friend" button wouldnt show, need a little help working this one out as im unsure what the function is actually called.

What? Surely you don't want the ability to add yourself as a friend?

 

What is your actual question / problem?

You'd check their user ID number (which could be stored in a session variable) and check it with the profile they're viewing.  If it matches don't display "Add Friend" button/link.

 

You could also go one step further and check if the friend link exists. If it does, don't display "Add Friend" but add "Remove Friend" instead.

Let's say your user id is logged in a session when you're logged in, and this is the code for your add friend list;

 

<?php
//database connection needed
$query = "SELECT id, username FROM yourusertable";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
if($row['id'] != $_SESSION['logged_id']){
echo "<a href="addfriend.php?friendid={$row['id']}">{$row['username']}</a>";
}
}
?>

 

Just substitute your code
