ID help!

[cyimking]

Ok, so im working on a site, and i ran into an error. Its seems to be that when i log in onto a sample account, it goes to the index.php page. Then , in the header, it's a link to go to the user's profile page. The link to their profile page is

 localhost/mysite/members/profile.php?id='.$id.'

And the $id is set to the Session that is currently into play. So if the user id is #1, then in the link will be localhost/mysite/members/profile.php?id=1[/code] BUT if i type in , lets say 2 in the browser, then it should display the second user, but instead it still display the first user. Even if i type in 10000000000000000, it will still go back to the first user.

 

Profile....

<?php

include_once "../config.php" ; // MUST include. 

//Check To make sure a valid session is stored! If not, die message will occur.
if (isset($_SESSION['id']))
{
    // Set up the ID variable. It should be equal to 1.
     $id = $_SESSION ['id'];
	//Get variables to make sure the ID exist AND make sure that the user is using the correct ID.
	$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE id = '$id' LIMIT 1");
	$check = mysql_num_rows($sql);

	if ($check > 1)
	{
		echo "No one matches that id number!";
		exit();
	}

	//Check to make sure that the ID matches another ID in the database
	if($check == 1)
	{
		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))
		{
			//Set up variables from the database
			$username = $row['username'];
			$email = $row['email'];
			$join_date = strftime("%b %d, %Y", strtotime($row['join_date']));
			$bio = $row['bio'];
			$check_pic = "../members/members/$id/pic1.jpg";
            $default_pic = "../members/members/0/pic1.jpg";
             if (file_exists($check_pic)) {
                   $user_pic = "<img src=\"$check_pic?$cacheBuster\" width=\"218px\" />"; 
            } 
			else {
              $user_pic = "<img src=\"$default_pic\" width=\"218px\" />";
			  }
			//Check to see what type of member the user is.
			if ($row['account_type'] == a)
			{
				//A users are Admin.
				$account_type = "Administrator";
			}
			else if ($row['account_type'] == b)
			{
				//B users are Moderators
				$account_type = "Moderator";
			}
			else
			//Regular Members
			$account_type = "Regular Member";
		} // End while loop!
	}
	else
    die ("Must be logged in to view this page!");
}	
else
die();

?>

 

Heade

include_once"config.php";  //Include the config.php which connects to the server and database
$toplinks = "";
if(isset($_SESSION['id']))
{
//Setting the local variables based on the login details
$id = $_SESSION ['id'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$toplinks = '<a href ="/empora/members/profile.php?id='.$id.'">'.$username.'</a>  <a href="members_account.php"> Account </a>  <a href="/empora/logout.php">Log Out</a>';
}
else
{
$toplinks = '<a href="registration.php"> Join Now </a>  <a href="login.php">Login Now</a>';
}

?>

 

 

PS. I am slowly working into making all of this into functions, but this error have to be address first.

look at your line which has $id = $_SESSION ['id'];

change $_SESSION['id'] to $_GET['id']

tell me if that works
