I can't promise you'll like this answer, however -
To use an analogy or a metaphor:
When you've learned to run, I'll be happy to teach you how to do the hurdles.
But if you're still getting the hand of walking, the idea of hurdles is somewhat ludicrous...

Well... Thats okay, I don't think I shall put it on the site right away, but I would've made sure I code finish the coding by myself, and test it until it works, then save the code for when the site has more activity. Thanks though. Also, I was wondering if it was okay to exchange emails through the site, so I could exchange with you, to let you know when I am ready for the help on this topic. Thanks.

Okay... I've seemed to have used some common sense in putting this together... Now all I need is some help to finish it. The "memberlist" page shows fine... it's just the "profile" page... Here is the code for the part of the "memberlist" that will be used with the "profile" page... I want to know if I've done it practically right...
<?
$list_members = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` ORDER BY id");
$list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_members );
while($list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_members ))
{
Print '<tr class="alt"><td><b>';
Print "<form action='profile.php' method='GET'>".$list['username']."<input type='hidden' name='username' value='".$list['username']."' /></b></td><td><input type='hidden' name='user' value='".$list['id']."' /><input type='submit' value='Visit' class='submit'/></form></td><td>".$list['country']."</td><td><a href='".$list['www']."'>".$list['www']."</a></td><td>".$list['browser']."</td></tr>";
}
?>
That is what I use to print out the table of members...
And here is the complete php for the "profile.php" page:
<?
include_once"config.php";
$fetch_users_data = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE username='".$_GET['username']."'"));
$fetch_users_id = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'"));
?>

It says this when I try to run the page... "
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in profile.php on line 42
"
Should the form method have been "POST"...? Please fix my errors for me... Thanks I tried my best.

The error message is about the <span style="font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> bit on line 42 - since it is inside a double-quoted string, the double-quotes have to be escaped with backslashes:
<span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\">
This kind of thing is dangerous though:
$list_memberinfo = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'");
I suggest you Google for "SQL injection".

Well... Thanks on the first one, but the second one is supposed to be used with the "memberlist" page, to where when they click "visit" it will link them to the profile page of which will take the hidden input of the ".list[id]." which is the id number of the user they chose to visit, as the "'".$_GET['user']."'" so that on the profile page it will automatically "get the id" and print out only the information for that id. So the url will in turn turn out to be like this.....
"profile.php?user=IDOFUSERTHEYCHOSETOVISIT" I need some help with that part of it... I don't know if where I put all the GETs if they should be POSTs... or any other implementation that would help me to get this to work. Thanks.
EDIT: I also added the backslashes to all the "spans" and it now loads the page... but it doesn't print any of the information out... Please help... I would like the finished profile page to look like...
This is what it does read... so I'm not that far into a hole I think...
profile.php?username=USERNAMEOFCHOSENMEMBER&user=IDOFCHOSENMEMBER
"profile.php?user=IDOFUSERTHEYCHOSETOVISIT"

It's not printing anything because of this:
$list_memberinfo = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'");
$list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_memberinfo );
while($list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_memberinfo ))
Presumably the id is unique, so the first (and only) record is retrieved with the first call to mysql_fetch_array, then it gets called again for the while loop where the value you got first in $list is thrown away. Then the while condition will fail, because you've already got the one record out.
Try changing it to this:
$list_memberinfo = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'");
while($list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_memberinfo ))
- or you could remove the "while" line instead, maybe replacing it with
if(!empty($list))
As for $_POST and $_GET - GET is the one you want for this. In the GET method, the parameters are passed in as part of the URI. In the POST method, the parameters are passed in the body of the request, and you would need to use a form to do that in HTML. Or you could use $_REQUEST instead, which contains everything from POST and GET, and the cookies too.

Okay thanks... I guess the first part was just a stupid mistake... even though it worked in the "memberlist" file..... But thanks, it now works. The "Edit Profile" page should include... Such like:
mysql_query("UPDATE `DBNAME`.`TABLE` SET VARIABLE = '$_POST[VARIABLE]'
WHERE username = '$SINGEDINUSERNAME' AND password = '$DIGNEDINUSER'SPASSWORD'");
I believe, and then it would be edited to where the user can edit multiple profile fields of which would be displayed on their profile!! Thanks so much for your help.
Also, how would I be able to make the "Profile" page not include the "username=" in the url...
Also, I tried adding more profile fields to make it seem as though there was 4 tables, when there is actually 1... I tried making it print it all out, now I need help to get it fixed...
here is the code:
<?
include_once"config.php";
$fetch_users_data = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE username='".$_REQUEST['username']."'"));
$fetch_users_id = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'"));

Graham gave you the solution earlier. You still have unescaped double quotes in your string, <td class="alt"> in particular.
If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Okay... Thanks, it now shows the page and loads the information... But how do I fix the...
"profile.php?username=USERNAMEOFCHOSENUSER&user=IDOFCHOSENUSER"
to
"profile.php?user=IDOFCHOSENUSER"
THANKS!
EDIT: There is something... "humorously fatal" on the profile page... The first two "columns in the first row"... Are turning "Background Color = limegreen, Font Color = red"... Here is the code:
<td bgcolor=\"#FF0000\" color=\"#000000\"><center><b><u>Username</u></b></center></td><td bgcolor=\"#FF0000\" color=\"#000000\"><b>';
Print "".$list['username']."</b></td>
So obviously somethings wrong... I can take a screenshot and post a link to it if ya'd like...
Thanks.

You change the link, obviously.
eg.
<a href="profile.php?username=USERNAMEOFCHOSENUSER&user=IDOFCHOSENUSER">Link</a> Will be:
<a href="profile.php?user=IDOFCHOSENUSER">Link</a>

It's obviously not that line. Do you have any other styles affecting it i.e. from a Style Sheet?

$list = mysql_fetch_array( $list_members );

Do you know what the GET method of submitting a form actually does?
Every input within the form, has their value displayed in the URL on the action page (the page the form is submited to).
E.g.
<form action="submit.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="fieldName" value="fieldValue" />
<input type="hidden" name="fieldName2" value="fieldValue2" />
</form> Would direct to submit.php?fieldName=fieldValue&fieldName2=fieldValue2
If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Yes, I know that, but in an earlier post, it said that I was right to use the "GET" method. Also, Did you find anything out about the "color" issue...?

"profile.php?user=IDOFCHOSENUSER"
ALL the inputs in your form are sent to the URL, if you don't want them in the URL then don't have them in the form!
If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Before you continue, I suggest you tidy up your code and get into some good practices.
thebiostyle wrote: include_once"CONFIGPAGE.php";
Encapsulate the target file in brackets: include_once('CONFIGPAGE.php');. And use single quotes, as it is quicker.
thebiostyle wrote:
$fetch_users_data = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE username='".$_REQUEST['username']."'"));
$fetch_users_id = mysql_fetch_object(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `members` WHERE id='".$_GET['user']."'"));
You need to check first whether or not 'user' and 'username' are set. If they aren't then it will throw errors.
$username = isset( $_REQUEST['username'] ) ? $_REQUEST['username'] : '';
$user = isset( $_GET['user'] ) ? $_GET['user'] : ''; You seriously need to sanitise your data inputs to protect from SQL injection attacks. Use the mysql_real_escape_string[^] function.
$username = mysql_real_escape_string( $username );
$user = mysql_real_escape_string( $user ); Then use those sanitized values as your SQL inputs.
thebiostyle wrote:
echo "".$fetch_users_data->username."";
There is no need for the "" around the value. It will work just fine without it: echo $fetch_users_data->username;
thebiostyle wrote:
<body bgcolor="#000000" onload="$_GET['user']">
There is no need to have an onload attribute, with $_GET['user']. It is also bad practice to use bgcolor. Use the style attribute instead, or better still use CSS classes.
thebiostyle wrote:
</div>
</table>
From what I can see you haven't opened a div; therefore there is no need to close one.
Note that you should also have a DOCTYPE which you should work from. http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_DOCTYPE.asp[^]
If at first you don't succeed, you're not Chuck Norris.

Okay, everything is fixed, except the color issue... With the DOCTYPE, I think it fixed the colors, but now they're BG=black and FC=red, when they need to be BG=red and FC=black.....
BTW, the whole site is filled with errors, but it works for me, lol so it's okay. Though with the site being used for web design and computer graphic design, I will make sure not to include errors in any other page. Thanks!

I still need help with the color issue....

I'd really recommend removing all the bgcolor= stuff (and the span, center, b, u tags)and putting it into the style sheet. You can apply multiple classes to an element if you want to, you just need to separate them with spaces, like this:
<td class="alt dark">some stuff</td>
Where "dark" is your new class specifying the correct background and font colours:
td.dark {
background-color: #FF0000;
color: #000000;
font-size: 16pt;
text-align: center;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline
}
If you move all the style information into the style sheet it becomes a lot easier to spot problems in the PHP and HTML.

Hi friends !
I need to add two or three difference items with their information but I don't know how to do that.
Normal way, to put an item to shopping we just only create the button "Add to card" button and use the code from paypal as bellow.
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="sampleEmail@domain.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="ITEM 001">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="001">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1000.00">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="products">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
this code just only put one item to shopping card.
Now, for example, i got two difference items with their information :
Item one:
Item name:Item 001
price :10USD
item_number:001
Item two:
Item name:Item 002
price :20USD
item_number:002
Can anybody help me with sample code to put these two items to paypal shopping card !
Notes: I got these items and their information. I got a Checkout button.
Then anybody press to Checkout button, these two items will add to shopping card of Paypal(the result will the same as we click to the "Add to card" button of item one and then continue Shopping and click to the "Add to card" button of item two).
Thanks in advance !

A simpler method would be to use an associative array, like:...
cart[productid] = count;
filled in by the add to cart and then have the information sent to the paypal cart with the click of a second button, with a checkout button. The checkout would run a javascript to go through the array and and build the data the way that paypal likes it.
Of course there needs to be more involve with a shopping cart, cancel order button, back to shopping button, remove items button, etc, etc....

Dear cjoki !
Thanks for your reply.
This is what i need.
When i was waiting for your reply, i found another way to post items to paypal shopping card as following scribe bellow:
-Using client script(js) to post each form.
But this is not better than the way that you tell me.
for(var i=0;i<numberOfForm;i++){
document.form['orderOfForm'].submit();
}
Thanks in advance !
