member system, view each members profile

[Mr_Chew]

I have a php login/member system. When a user is logged in there is a members page which displays every member in an html table, with a 'view profile' link for each member. What path do I point the link so that when 'view profile' link is clicked it points to the member's profile on a separate page. To get an idea of what i'm talking about, go to the Roster page on http://www.cs-eagle.com as an example. I don't know what do do with the 'profile' link path.

Here is a snippet of my code inside a while loop that echo's a table with each member in it.

		while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) 
		{
		echo "
  <tr>
    <td>".$row['username']."</td>
    <td>".$row['firstname']."</td>
    <td>".$row['lastname']."</td>
    <td><a href= 'what do i put here'>View Profile</a></td>
  </tr>
";
}

Not sure what you want exactly, but here you go:

<a href="http://yoursite.com/members.php?member=somemember" target="_blank">Member Profile</a>

maybe this isn't clear.

my website is http://verbazon.net

If you make a dummy register account and login you'll see a members page once logged in. Each member has a 'view profile' link that currently points nowhere cause i don't know what to do with it. What path do i point each 'view profile' link for each member so the logged in user can view another members profile on a separate page. Can anyone help me with this?

look at the example on the roster page at http://cs-eagle.com. That's what i want to do.

Ok lets take your example. This is what goes on:

1- in the roster section of http://cs-eagle.com/roster.php they create a list of members with a link to their respective profiles like this:

<a href="http://cs-eagle.com/roster.php?roster_id=65">Profile</a>

2-When you click the profile link you are taken to the same page with a modified query string. It then reruns the script validating the query string and using a conditional statement by using something like this:

$pattern = "/^\_id\=/";
$id =  preg_replace($pattern, "", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
if(strlen($id) <= 2) //this is a tribal way to check that preg_replace() returned a 2 character/digit string/number.
{
//pull profile from db for the corresponding member $id
//display
}
else
{
//list all member names and profile links
}

how would i incoroporate this into my code? i have a while loop that echo's a table with each user's info. what would i do with the 'view profile' links? this is a little over my head of how i should implement this

[YAOMK]

You would have to place the loop and its related code to run inside "else", the code to display the users profile inside "if" and you would use the variable $id as part of the sql statement that pulls the user's profile.
