Create a profile.php page.

If you've got user hyperlinks - they should have the user's id as part of the querystring. This is then processed from the $_GET variable and data is taken from the DB and displayed.

A hashed "confirm" parameter may be useful to prevent users from messing with the querystring.

Simple.

what ardav's trying to tell you is that you can have a page that will display users on your site with there picture displayed.the link on the picture can be something like

yourdomain.com/profile.php?userid=12456

where the userid will be the id of the person in your database
and once this is clicked there profile will be shown via get using

$_GET['userid'];

and via a sql statement you generate the user using the userid. hope that helps and don't orget the hashing he talked about so as to prevent sql injection. shalom shalom
