GET statement?

[influx]

Hey all...

Let's say I have a user signed up at my site with the username gyro, and they visit www.site.com/hello.php?user=gyro . How would I fetch all of gyro's information in the database using a $_GET statement?

Thanks a lot guys!

Well, you would make use of the incoming variable $_GET['user']

As for the database, it depends on what database you use.

If you're using SQL, you could SELECT from the database table WHERE user matches that variable.
