creating profile

[runnerjp]

ok what i got now is on profile.php

 

echo 'Hello <em><b><u>' . get_username ( $_SESSION['user_id'] ) . '</u></b></em>!<br />this is your name.<br /><br />';
echo 'email <em><b><u>' . get_email ( $_SESSION['user_id'] ) . '</u></b></em>!<br />is your email.<br /><br />'; 

i used the id i had from other post to make this work

and sessions looks like this

 

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------

/**
 * Get username - Returns the username of the logged in member based on session ID
 *
 * @access	public
 * @param	string
 * @return	string/bool
 */


function get_username ( $id )
{
	global $db;

	$query = "SELECT `Username` FROM `" . DBPREFIX . "users` WHERE `ID` = " . $db->qstr ( $id );

	if ( $db->RecordCount ( $query ) == 1 )
	{
		$row = $db->getRow ( $query );

		return $row->Username;
	}
	else {
		return FALSE;
	}
}
/**
 * Get email- Returns the email of the logged in member based on session ID
 *
 * @access	public
 * @param	string
 * @return	string/bool
 */
	function get_email ( $id )
{
	global $db;

	$query = "SELECT `Email` FROM `" . DBPREFIX . "users` WHERE `ID` = " . $db->qstr ( $id );

	if ( $db->RecordCount ( $query ) == 1 )
	{
		$row = $db->getRow ( $query );

		return $row->Email;
	}
	else {
		return FALSE;
	}
} 

 

it works great obviusly when a user is logged in BUT when they are not then how can i show the users data?

[runnerjp]

simple feature but it only works if a user is logged in... how can i edit the code so it gets it also for users who arnt logged in?

 

maybe having a link to go through where it will send the id so the function can get the user id and still use it

All you need do is pass your functions an id. How you get this id is up to you.

 

In the link to the example I orginally posted, there is a small script that lists all users as links to the profile.php page. That should get you a good start.
