Linking Help

[Daney11]

Hi guys,

 

Having a bit of a problem with linking. Bascially i want to know how to link like this...

 

members.php?member_id=1

 

Id like to know what commands i would put in members.php to get the member_id and the information of that member_id to show..

 

thanks

Do you mean how to "read" the id from the adress-bar and how to use it ?

 

Example with mysql:

<?php

if(!empty($_GET['member_id'])){
  $member_id = $_GET['member_id'];
  $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members_table WHERE id='$member_id'");
  if(mysql_num_rows($sql)==1){
    $col = mysql_fetch_array($sql);
    echo "User ".$col['name']." has ID ".$col['id'];
  }
  else{
    echo "No user found with ID ".$member_id;
  }
}

?>

 

But it boils down to how your existing members page is constructed, but $_GET['whatever'] wil get 'whatever' from the adress bar.
