how to session based user information show?

[rony446]

I created a custom page. I want to show some information of logged in user. this information only show for that user only. like, My Profile. which code i have to copy/changes? I m new in PhP/Mysql.thats why I asked about the code.

example: if rony is logged in, then if he clicks on custom page then it shows some information from "my profile".

Take a look how this is being accomplished in profile.php. There is not simple, more straightforward answer than that.

I tried to way.

1. declaring a session variable like:  $_SESSION['uname']=$_POST['username'];   in login.php and print that session from my custom page. but no result was printed.

2. to find out the solution, once  i linked my custom page with profile.php and another time, i copied some code in my custom page. but both case i got an error when i clicked on my custom link.

Error
  Selected user does not exist ! 


if i click on my profile. then its work properly. what is the problem i could not find.

What do you want to display?

If it's all user_data, you can do this:

Create a new .php file in your root directory of the gallery and paste the following:

Code Select Expand

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
pageheader('Your Page Title');
if (USER_ID) { $user_data = $cpg_udb->get_user_infos(USER_ID); } 
?>
<!-- Your Content -->




Let's show the user's id: <?php echo $user_data['user_id'] ?>
<br />
Show username: <?php echo $user_data['user_name'] ?>



<!-- Stop Your Content -->
<?php
pagefooter();
?>



That will load the user's data on your custom pages.

Edit: really late. Rony, please post the link to the solution you used, other users may find Joachim Muller's post more helpful
