Help with variables...

When you view a persons user profile by this URL member.php?u=1

Ok I have a custom music player put on the page. And I have a file which is called playlist.php

Now in playlist.php I am making the playlist for the music player.

Looks like this:
<config>
<play_list>USERPROFILE_FIELD15,Title</play_list>
</config>

Now where it says USERPROFILE_FIELD15 I want to output profile field 15 for the user who's profile you are viewing.

example: http://www.name.com/music.mp3

This might be confusing... not sure. But I need help! Thanks.

So basically in the end all my users can have a music player. and they will have 3 profile fields in which to enter the URL for there music..

Have you tried: $userinfo['field15'] ?

[fearfx]

well thats the thing Im not sure what to use..

<?php

?>

<playlist_click_color>0xC4F3FF</playlist_click_color>

<!--PLAYLIST

path_to_1file,1Title#path_to_2file,2Title#...#path _to_nfile,nTitle
-->
<play_list>$userinfo['field15'],Title</play_list>
</config>

That is my config.php file - basically default settings for Music Player and at the end of the file: <play_list> holds the music file links.

So basically at the bottom where it says $userinfo['field15']

is where I want this to show up:

if i'm viewing member.php?u=1

How would I tell my config file that I'm viewing user=1 and I need to gather the info out of ['field15'] so that when I view his profile, it plays the song he inputed in his user cp.

I'm not sure about the non-PHP bit but you'd need something like:


<?php

// Not sure if you need this bit if you are including into member.php anyway
$cwd = getcwd();
chdir('./path/to/forums');
require_once('global.php'); // you don't need to define directory here just include
chdir($cwd);

?>
<config....
....
...
...
<play_list><?php echo $userinfo['field15']; ?>,Title</play_list>
...
</config>

</span>

This is what I did so far. I just made a query to get the information. But in the query where is says WHERE userid = 1;

What would I do to get the ID # of the user's profile you are visiting... and then show that in the query above.

[Dismounted]

You don't need to query the database, all the information is already available through the $userinfo array.

[fearfx]

yea, but this file is standalone from and vb script. its in a file called playlist.php

Know when someone visits someones profile I need to send that user id to the playlist.php file so It can retrieve that persons music...

any clues on how to do that...

[Opserty]

You don't send the data to playlist.php you include playlist.php into member.php (via. Plugins, using require_once()). This way you will be able to use the $userinfo array on that page.

P.S. I also indicated in my previous post that you don't need to include the directory path when including global.php, you are already changing (chdir()'ing) to that directory! However I'm not sure if there is a need to include it anyway. Read the PHP comments in my previous post.
