You can try like:

$t = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT regtime FROM ibwf_users WHERE id='".$who."' "));
$rt = $t[0];
$nt = time() - $rt;

if($nt<300)
{
echo "<br/><b><a href=\"index.php?action=uset&amp;sid=$sid\">[ Edit My  Profile ]</a></b>";
} 

It will show that link up to 5 mins after anyone's registration.
Tell me if it's working or not.

this isn't a good idea..better to use an sql fetching with something like a row char(1) NOT NULL default '0'..if row is equal to 0 then show link to edit profile..then in the update page, you should query to set the row value into 1..then it will not show again after it was updated..Got my point?

riders asked for a code that shows the link only for once after registration so I coded in that way. Besides personally I avoid sql as much as I can.

I would have said use a session variable set on the register page but maybe the session isnt started intill you log-in!

$_SESSION['first_time'] = 1; // set on the register page

then

if(isset($_SESSION['first_time'])){ 
if($uid==$who)
{
echo "<br/><b><a href=\"index.php?action=uset&amp;sid=$sid\">[ Edit My  Profile ]</a></b>";
}
unset($_SESSION['first_time']); 
}

I created my own session system for wapside. So i dont really know much about php sessions themselfs.

Thankyou iv learned something new

if $_SESSION is not set then i create a cookie and call it with $_COOKIE..That's what i've done in my site..You can also use $_REQUEST['PHPSESSID'] where PHPSESSID is the sessi0n name..To debug, print session_name();

Old mobiles dont suppot both session n cookie. try logging ur site using a WAP 1.0 phone like Motorola C-168 or MAUE WAP browser. If u can log successfully dont' forget to inform me.

Well, riderz did u get ur solution from this thread? @ riderz

ok.,then try to use $_REQUEST['PHPSESSID']..Php provides the ses id depending on the browser i think?But, i get a problem with functions like parsepm($msg, $sid)..So i came back to SESSION and COOKIE..I think maui wap browsers have a cookie support?Then cookies will work..And other wap1.0..Unless they don't supp0rt c0okies..
