messagebox system

[conan318]

iam making a message where if you click on a members profile you can send them a message and it fill out the to and from form automaticly which is working but i cant get it to work when you press reply to add sending details.. hope that makes sense.

viewprofile.php

Echo '<a href="new_message.php?username=' . $info['username'] . '">"message me"</a><br>';

when u click message me from the user profile it carry's over the user name no problems.

 

 

now if your just read a message and wish to reply

read_message.php

session_start();
$myusername=$_SESSION['myusername'];
require "database.php";
$getuname = $_GET['from_user'];
$messageid = $_GET['messageid'];
$message = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM messages WHERE message_id = '$messageid' AND to_user = '$myusername'");
$message=mysql_fetch_assoc($message);


echo "<h1>Title: ".$message['message_title']."</h1><br><br>";
echo "<h3>From: ".$message['from_user']."<br><br></h3>";
echo "<h3>Message: <br>".$message['message_contents']."<br></h3>";

echo '<form name="backfrm" method="post" action="inbox.php">';
echo '<input type="submit" value="Back to Inbox">';

// trying to carry over the the form_user to the next page
Echo '<a href="new_message.php?from_user=' . $getuname['from_user'] . '">"Reply to message"</a><br>';
//
?>

new message page.

if (!isset($_GET['username'])) {
$getuname = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['username']);
}else{
$getuname = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['from_user']);
}



?>


<form name="message" action="messageck.php"
method="post">
Subject:<input type="text" name="message_title">  <br>
<?
echo '<input type="hidden" name="message_to" value="'.$getuname.'"><br>';
?>
Message: <br>
<textarea rows="10" cols="50" name="message_contents">
</textarea>
<?php
echo '<input type="hidden" name="message_from" value="'.$myusername.'"><br>';

Give this a shoot. Change:

Echo '<a href="new_message.php?from_user=' . $getuname['from_user'] . '">"Reply to message"</a><br>';

 

to these two lines:

 

$person = $getuname["from_user"];

echo "<a href=\"test_second.php?from_user=$person\">Reply to message</a><br>";

 

to cut down on the quotes ( a source of anguish for me and many others)
