Passing member name to a PHP script via link

I need to be able to send the username to a script called memberspic.php to be able to display the pictures posted by that member.

How can I make a link that will send the user name to that other script? Whats the username variable?

$bbuserinfo[username] is that it? post it to the other file? or is there a better way?

thanks

if you require global.php also in your memberspic.php you can use $bbuserinfo[username] everywhere in the script

but which members name will be transfered ?

I need the name of the member whose profile it is to be transfered to memberspic.php

so that it can be used like this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT image_name FROM photo_album WHERE file_name='VARIABLE OF MEMBER NAME'",$db);
if (!$result) {
echo("Sorry no Pictures: " . mysql_error(). "</p>");
exit();
}

//Display
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
extract($row);
echo("<img src=http://www.darkforum.com/profile/images/$image_name>");
}
}
?>

$bbuserinfo[username] is always the name of the logged in user

if you want to use another username:

link to memberspic.php?username=blablabla and then use $username in memberspic.php

[thenetbox]

Cant it automatically get the memberusername from the members profile page?

Like if I am in user "vivicas" profile
and then there is a link on the bottom saying.. look at my pictures..

cant it automatically make

$result = mysql_query("SELECT image_name FROM photo_album WHERE file_name=$membername ",$db);

into:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT image_name FROM photo_album WHERE file_name='vivica' ",$db);

by using some variable that is passed from VB to the script?

[Xenon]

as i said, you have to pass the variable with the link to the new script

no other possibilities
