link.php?s1=word&s2=no.

[almightyegg]

i have a page like this:
[code=php:0]
<?
if(!$p){
}elseif($p=="view"){
//page info
}elseif($p=="edit"){
//page info
}
[/code]

so the link is profile.php?p=view or edit but in view i also have this:
[code=php:0]
$GET = id;
$first = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '$GET'";
$second = mysql_query($first);
$profile = mysql_fetch_assoc($second);
//other stuff
echo "$profile[firstn] $profile[lastn]";
?>'s Profile
[/code]
so that is then profile.php?p=view&id=1 (is my id)
except is doesn't echo out the $profile bits  ??? any ideas

Make sure it is actually in an array (the profile variable) and not just multiple variables.  Then try:
echo $profile['firstn']."".$profile['lastn'];

how would i make sure it is an array...sorry i'm not so good with php  :-[

[mattd8752]

Give me the errors if there are any from that second part I gave you and I can tell you if it is an array?  I'll show you how for next time.  If it says something about non-existing array or something like that it is definitely the array.

when trying:
echo $profile['firstn']."".$profile['lastn'];

it displays the same as it had before...no difference...just doesn't show anything

$GET = id;

Is it supposed to be $id?
