Pain Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hello. Say i want to view another user profile. I click on user name and i see the profile page. So how can i link user name to his profile? I have tried linking it to $id (this is where user id is stored in the database), but no luck. Thank you.

Pain Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Sorry. I am trying to link $view_user to the profile page. First part of code displays all users. When i click on any of users i want to see info about this particular user. <?php $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users2 WHERE username = '$usr'"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows!=0) { while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $view_user = $row['username']; $id2 = $row['id']; echo "<a href='main.php?id=profile'>$view_user</a>"; } } ?> My profile page is set to display info of the session user: <?php $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users2 WHERE username = '$usr'"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows!=0) { while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $view_power = $row['power']; $view_speed = $row['speed']; $view_money = $row['money']; $view_user = $row['username']; $usr = $_SESSION['username']; $id2 = $row['id']; echo "<br /><br /><b>Personal information</b><br />"; echo $view_user . "<br /><br />"; echo "<b>In Game Stats</b><br />"; echo "Money: " . $view_money . "<br />"; echo "Strength: " . $view_power . "<br />"; echo "Speed: " . $view_speed .

timmah1 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You aren't linking anything but the word 'profile' echo "<a href='main.php?id=profile'>$view_user</a>"; try this echo "<a href='main.php?id=$id2'>$view_user</a>"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251263-link-to-profile-page/#findComment-1288765 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 You aren't linking anything but the word 'profile' echo "<a href='main.php?id=profile'>$view_user</a>"; try this echo "<a href='main.php?id=$id2'>$view_user</a>"; I have this code on my main page $id = $_GET['id']; if ($id == profile) { include("profile.php"); } this allows me to hold everything in my main page, thats why going to main.php?id=profile is generally working, but it doesn't show any user info. main.php?id=$id2 displays the correct ID in the address bar, but when i click the link it says that the page does not exist Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251263-link-to-profile-page/#findComment-1288771 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 the problem is that there is nothing in on the page when i redirect to id=$id. I suppose i should implement something like automatic page creation for $id?

Pain Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 To clarify this: i need to create a unique link for every user, so that other can view the profile.

ZulfadlyAshBurn Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 everyuser should have a unique id store in the db once they sign-up. that unique id will be their profile id. so for example, if you would like to view a user, i would recommend you to create a page called profile.php and use the get function to get the id which is given. if there is no id given, show the user's profile instead. <?php session_start(); if(empty($_GET['id']) || !empty($_SESSION['username'])) { // mysql query for user's id and etc } else { //mysql query for $id and etc $id = $_GET['id']; } ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/251263-link-to-profile-page/#findComment-1288882 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pain Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 Ok so the unique link is set for each user. For instance profile.php?id=3 But how do i display info from DB in the web.
