Sorry for posting this in the wrong place before. Hope this is the right section... Hi I'm trying to make a chatroom using pjirc, unrealircd and invisionboard. It works fine but I want to tweak it slightly. It can pull member names from the forums so I wondered if it was possible to retrieve other information such as asl and profiles from them. I wish to use something like this... if ($age == '--' && $sex == '--' && $location == '--') $asl = $altasl; else $asl = $age.'/'.$sex.'/'.$location; And define the variables to link to the invisionboard, but I haven't been able to without receiving parse errors. Also then define the parameter as... <param name="name" value="$asl"> Furthermore... <param name="pixx:configurepopup" value="true"> <param name="pixx:popupmenustring1" value="View Profile"> <param name="pixx:popupmenucommand1_1" value='/url "forums/index.php?showuser={$ibforums->member['id']}"'> Creates a pop-up box for profiles in the java applet but it only links to my profile. I've just started to learn php so please help. Thanks in advance.
