PHP to add into URL?

[jacobred]

Hello there ,

 

I am an Admin of a vBulletin board, and I never seem to get any support on the official site

 

So, What I want is a command.PHP sort of script.

 

We are a Habbo based forum, and what I want is a custom profile field (I know how to do that) which once the user enters a bit of text, it put it into a specific area of a URL

 

Ill show you

 

The url to start with, should hopefully be something like

http://www.habbo.co.uk/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=[**THE BiT WHERE WE WANT THE TEXT TO BE PLACED**]&action=wav&direction=3000003&head_direction=2999995&gesture=sml&size=s

 

So, the user puts sburns1992 into that field and it would make that url look like this

 

http://www.habbo.co.uk/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=sburns1992&action=wav&direction=3000003&head_direction=2999995&gesture=sml&size=s

 

 

Any idea how to do that?

 

Cheers

 

Jake

<form action="yourpage.php" method="get">
User: <input type="text" name="user" /><br />
  <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

 

If I understood what you were after, correctly.

Right

 

We have a Custom Profile Field set up on our forum for a Habbo name

 

Now, upon registration the user is required to enter this, and once they do we hope we can make it show up on the users postbit

 

I just need the PHP script for this operation,

 

I want the outcome to be this...

 

Once the new registered put his/her name, I want it to go like this

 

say, Phpfreaks.com was the starting point, I want whatever is put in the profile field to appear like this

 

phpfreaks.com/whateverisputhere

 

Is that easier, Its not a form but for Custom Profiule Foelds

Bump much?

If I go by your initial post... you just have to echo out the field in the database.

 

ie.

 

echo '<img src="http://www.habbo.co.uk/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user='.$_DB-FIELD-OF-IMAGE.'&action=wav&direction=3000003&head_direction=2999995&gesture=sml&size=s"/>';

Right, We seem to be getting somewhere!!

 

Now, How do I implement that into a vBulletin Custom Field..?

I have tried putting it into the Regular Expression box,

What does the '.$_DB-FIELD-OF-IMAGE.' mean?

[seventheyejosh]

it just means whatever field has the image info in ur DB

 

like:

 

$res=mysql_query("SELECT image_path FROM `table` WHERE `id`='1'");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($res);

$image=$row[0];

$url="/index.php?image=$image";

$url="/index.php?image=$image";

 

Ok, but what we are trying to use is sourced externally :l

 

What we basically want, is this!

 

User registers

Theres a field that says Name:

 

user puts Jon

 

So, now it generates a link http://www.phpfreaks.com/jon

 

Jon being automatically added in to the end of the URL, But we want it like this

http://www.habbo.co.uk/habbo-imaging/avatarimage?user=jon&action=wav&direction=3000003&head_direction=2999995&gesture=sml&size=s

 

Does that make any sense?

 

[seventheyejosh]

where does the link go? does the link occur on the next page? or on that page?

 

if it is on the next page, u can just create the link after you insert them into the DB

 

$name=$_POST['name'];

mysql_query("INSERT INTO users ('name') VALUES (`$name`)");

//then ur link

$link="/index.php?name=$name&blah=blahetc";

 

else, if you are doing some sort of instant link without page submit, you can use javascript

This is a vBULLETIN custom profile field!

 

I dont think I can accomplish here ;(

[seventheyejosh]

I dont understand where the user is 'putting' this information!? it looks like you just have the users' username in there.. why not just get the damn thing from the DB. What is it you're trying to accomplish? Do you want like custom profile url's like FB? or just a direct link to the profile!?

 

I need a little more info than, the user can 'put' this in that.
