user profile script

[Matt_dowd91]

I already have my forum script,
users can post in the forums and create topics but I want to give every user there own profile how would I begin ?

You need to collect their registration data, do while() loop and display it on the profile page.
Its several lines, not script so thread moved in Coding forum.

im a little confused myself on the while loop arnage?

Personally i would start with the database and adding new rows to the users sql such as location, about etc etc

Now by sounds of things you already have a forum set up which would also mean you would need to set up an edit profile page as well

damn things are starting to get longer.......

*Does a quick exit out the of topic thinking "nooooooooo way to much work than i will do for free"* lol

thanks ill start and maybe share the script when im done just one quick thing I get error with this code

<?php
 echo '<a href='/redirect/"member_profile.php?username=''. $name['user'] . '">' . $name['user'] . '</a>';
 ?>

Yep, he said:
"I already have my forum script, users can post in the forums and create topics"

... which means that they have registered and "collecting data" is with query with while loop for first step.

For example:

$read = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `registered_users` // the rest of query');

while ($users_info = mysql_fetch_array($read)) {
echo $users_info['registered_id'].' <a href="./index.php?page=profile&amp;id='.$users_info['registered_id'].'">'.$users_info['registered_nick'].'</a><br/>';
} 

Than goes to list the profile:

$user_profile = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query('SELECT * FROM `registered_users` WHERE `registered_id` = '.$id.''));
echo 'your id is: '.$user_profile['registered_id'].' Name: '.$user_profile['registered_id'].'...'; 

My point was him to ask and show what data registered users have and show him step by step.
