opening a page to display the right info

Recommended Posts

I'm making a website where registered users can upload a photo as well as information. The main page will display all of the users' photos. When user1 clicks on, say, user5's photo i want a page to open up and user5's information. How do i do this?

Every user has a username stored in the database along with their information and the url to their photo.

Code of the main page-

<?php require_once('Connections/elvisdb.php'); ?>
<?php
if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}
}

mysql_select_db($database_elvisdb, $elvisdb);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM images ORDER BY `count` DESC";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $elvisdb) or die(mysql_error());

while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)) {
for ($i=1;$i<=3;$i++) { 
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
echo $i;

?>	
<td>
<p><img src="<?php print $row_Recordset1['imageName']?>"></p>
<p><?php print $row_Recordset1['usnm']?></p> </td>

<?php
if ($i=3) {
?>
  <br />
<?php
}
}
}
?>
  </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
<?php
mysql_free_result($Recordset1);
?>

 

The username is stored in the 'usnm' field.

Share on other sites

First get the username as a link (althought the record ID might make more sense)

 

<p><?php echo "<a href='show_user.php?user=". $row_Recordset1['usnm']. "'>". $row_Recordset1['usnm']. "</a>";?></p>

 

Then create new file show_user.php.  Retrieve the value of usnm from the $_GET array and use that to search and retrieve data for that user.
