pulling information according to id

[Lukeidiot]

I'm trying to make it where the id number is a link that you can click on,
and when you click on it, it will pull fields according to the id you clicked on, is this possible from log, to say "account.php" (account.php will see the id you clicked from the link, and will return it's field data that i want to show)

Example:
Memberlist.php:
(Note the ID # (aka 1) will be a link you can click on and will goto profile.php,
and show all its called field info)
1 - User1
2 - User2
3 - User3

Profile.php:
User1's Profile
Email: [email protected]
Name: Test

Have a look at some PHP+MySQL tutorials (assuming you're using MySQL).

What is your database structure? Have you got all the user information in one table, or is it normalised into seperate tables?

Basically on the page with the list of members you need to run a SQL query to get the ID and user name for the list, then just loop through the result set creating the link.

$sql = "SELECT id, name FROM users";

//loop through result and create the links 

Then on the profile page, you can pickup the ID requested by using the querystring in the URL, the link would be profile.php?id=X

$user_id = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id']); //get the ID from the querystring
$sql = "SELECT name, email, phone FROM users WHERE id = '$user_id'"

//get result of query
