Help with URL

ChrisMartino · January 17, 2010

OK so i want to make it so when somebody types in the url bar profile.php?member=1234

How would i get that there?, (The 1234) i need to be able to get that in a variable somehow so i can do a if statement with it, Because i need to do

$member = "member";

if($member == $TheVariableID)

{

// DO something here

}

Dose anyone know i really need to know :/

$member = (isset($_GET['member']) ? $_GET['member'] : '');

This is a single little example but you can go even simpler and use

$member = $_GET['member'];

ChrisMartino · January 17, 2010

It didn't work :/

this is my code:

		if ($member == $memberID) {
		?>
			<center>
				<img src="<?=$_SESSION['AccountPic']?>" width="130" height="130">
				<br />
				<a href="profile.php?change=pic">[Change Picture]</a>
				</center>
				<br />

				<?php
				echo $memberID;
				echo "<b>Username:</b> $User";
				?>
				<br />
				<?php
				echo "<b>IP Address:</b> $AccountIP";
				?>
				<br />
				<?php
				echo "<b>Email Address:</b> $Email <a href=\"profile.php?change=email\">[Change]</a>";
				?>
				<br />
				<?php
				echo "<b>Account Type:</b> $AccTyp";
				?>
				<br />

		<?php
				if($AccountQurey == $Administrator)
				{
					echo "<b>Administrator:</b> Yes";
				}
				else
				{
					echo "<b>Administrator:</b> No";
				}


		}

"echo $memberID;" is supposed to echo the number you put in the address bar eg profile.php?member=123" that should of echoed 123 but it didn't

How/where is $member and $memeberID being defined?

ChrisMartino · January 17, 2010

$member = "member";

$memberID = (isset($_GET['member']) ? $_GET['member'] : '');

wildteen88 · January 17, 2010

If that's the case, then nothing will be displayed as $memeber can not match $memberID, This is what this if statement is saying

if ($member == $memberID) {

I dont understand how $member can be the same as $memberID. I need to see more code so I can understand whats going on.

ChrisMartino · January 17, 2010

Well could you show me how to do it?, I want it so if they type profile.php?member=123

it would echo "123" how could i do that?

wildteen88 · January 17, 2010

If you only want to show the profile for the id specified in the url, eg 123 then this is how I'd do it

<?php

// connect to mysql here etc

// check that memberID is declared in the url, eg profile.php?member=123
if(isset($_GET['member']) && is_numeric($_GET['member']))
{
    // get the member id
    $memberID = (int) $_GET['member'];

    // Select only the row that matches memberID being requested, eg 123
    $query = "SELECT * FROM members_table WHERE memberID = '$memberID'";
    $result = mysql_query($query);

    // check that the query returned one row, meaning a match was found
    if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1)
    {
        // grab the results from the query
        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

        // display profile here
       printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($row, true));
    }
    // a match was not found. Display an error instead
    else
    {
        echo '<p style="color:red">Member does not exists</p>';
    }
}
// Either the member id was not declared or it was invalid. Display an error
else
{
    echo 'Invalid member id specified';
}

?>

My code is only an example. You will need to modify it in order for it work properly, for example you need to change where it says members_table with the name of the table that holds your users. memberID will also need to be changed to the field that holds your members id's

$query = "SELECT * FROM members_table WHERE memberID = '$memberID'";

ChrisMartino · January 17, 2010
