Since i've failed this so many times...

Can someone just design a simple simple script that will tell the user, according to their ID, what their name is. I'm trying to design profiles, but it's not exactly working.

[deansatch]

select name from table_users where id = '$id'

Yes but I need to think what to do with it, because when I do it... It just returns the user that's viewing it's name.

How about take an idea from the SMF forum software that PhpFreaks uses. All the member names that are displayed anywhere on any of the pages are links that when clicked take you to the profile page of that member. For example, your member name is the following link - http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=85553

I am going to give you a simple User Management System

 

1) Create a table with: userid, username, email, address ( You need teh first 2, the rest you can add/remove to your likings)

 

2) Create a Registration form and just insert the info into DB

 

3) Make a loggin script (Check the username and password provided from the form to see if the user actually exists)

If a user exists, fetch the userid from the Database and put it in the link.

 

Something to get you started:

Use if mysql_rows.

 

And the link would be:

www.yoursite.com/profile.php?id=userid

 

4) Make a profile page, DONT PUT ANY DB stuffs yet.

Just design it to your needs. Where you want to put the user's details put a default value. For exemple where you want to display his username, put username.

 

And when your all done, Put this at the top:

<?php 
$userid = $_GET['id'];
?>

This will get the user id.

And make a while loop to fetch the rest of the information, where userid = userid.

 

 

I hope I was clear...

 

If you need more help,

dont hestitate

I've already made the site and forum and stuff, but the profile script just wont work and I have no idea why. Thanks though.

I just need someone to make a base script or something.
