Ok i want to create a script that displays all the users in my database and when someone clicks on one of the users listed it then displays certain variables that i want to be displayed for example

if i have a user named "usera"

and i click on that name i want it to display things that only go with that user

like display age and stuff without having to to redirect to a different webpage

if(!isset($_GET['user']))
{
echo "Select a name to view there ninja card.<br><br>";
$NPCS = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `users`");
while($Show = mysql_fetch_array($NPCS))
  {
echo "<a href=\"ninjacardone.php? Action=view&user=" . $Show['username'] . "\">" . $Show['username'] . "</a><br>";
  }
exit();
}
$NPC = mysql_escape_string($_GET['user']);
$username = $NPCS;

Getting information about all users and one user would require different code;  if it were me I'd create a different page for viewing information about single users.

 

Since you have this line

 echo "<a href=\"ninjacardone.php? Action=view&user=" . $Show['username'] . "\">" . $Show['username'] . "</a><br>";

 

why not edit it to something like this:

 

 echo '<a href="ninjacardoneedit.php?username='. $row['username]. '> Edit</a><br>' ;

 

This way these variables will be passed to the URL, and you can grab them on the next page with a $_GET['username']

i dont want to edit any of the information i just want to be able to allow other users to see some information about other users

okay... that was just an example.  Instead of making the link "Edit" you could make it "view, and use the same information, rather than producing editable data, you could see information about that one user
