[powerful_rogue]

Hi Lynne,
Im almost there, just got one final hurdle!

I created a query to get the userid of the member. The code below works fine in linking to their profile

Hi $username, welcome to the forum!

PHP Code:

[URL="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$userid"]Click Here[/url] 


However im having problems trying to get the username to show!

PHP Code:

[URL="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$userid"]"$username
"[/url] 


shows "powerful_rogue"

PHP Code:

[URL="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$userid"]'$username
'[/url] 


shows \'powerful_rogue\'

PHP Code:

[URL="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?u=$userid"]$username
[/url] 


throws the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '/', expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING
