hey check out http://www.phpfreaks.com/ there is a tutorial on user/membership on there. As for users + profiles, you could add a table to your database called UserProfs or something else with these columns.

Username,

Email Address,

Real Name

and more then just create a php file like this:

<?phpif (isset($user)) {$db_server = "localhost";$db_database = "members";$db_user = "user";$db_pass = "pass";mysql_connect($db_server, $db_user, $db_pass) or die("Could not connect to database server.");mysql_select_db($db_database) or die("Could not select database.");$query = "SELECT * FROM $db_database WHERE username=$user";$results = mysql_query($query);$num = mysql_numrows($results);if ($num > 0) {$email = mysql_result($results, 0, "Email Address");$realname = mysql_result($results, 0, "Real Name");print "<b>Username:</b> $user<br>";print "<b>Email:</b> $email<br>";print "<b>Real Name:</b> $realname<br>";$a++;}}?>

just learn php/mysql there are plenty of tutorials out there and its not that hard to do, here is a good tutorial that helped me: http://www.freewebmasterhelp.com/tutorials/phpmysql

I'm going to go ahead and jump in here, its quite easy actually.
As long as you understand how to use $_SESSION,$_GET,$_POST,$_REQUEST(optional, not necessary)
but for profiles, concentrate on $_GET. Jmb was partially correct, but instead of doing that, why not just directly take the details from the user database rather than creating one more with duplicate fields and values?

Follow this,itssame :

For example, your database has a table called 'users' and its fields are username,rank,email.



Code :

<?php//call in your connection filerequire('connection2.php'); //Select from the database, the row which has the username of $_GET[profile] as give in the url. Example : url.com?a=account&s=session&profile=Test$query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username='$_GET[profile]'");//Check the number of rows that are there in the database with the username of $_GET[profile], in this case Test is the account.$count_rows=mysql_num_rows($query);if ($count_rows >= 1) {$r=mysql_fetch_array($query);//above, we set $r to all the fields main display variable .echo "Username  : $r[username] \n";echo "Email : $r[email] \n";echo "Rank : $r[rank] \n";}else {echo "No records of user.";}mysql_close(connection_variable);?>

Thats the most basic script. You can modify it to your needs.

I set in a reminder that if you plan to use a user registration script tutorial, that you also find security tutorials as well because I only can imagine how quickly someone could get into your hosting account and then do their damage. Of course if your trying to learn php then it is well worth the effort to get a understanding of how it works, but if you going to use them you want to look for software that has some sort of registration script already set up with it that comes with some sort of security.
