I want my php query to display the user name with a link to the user profile.
<?php
$get_items = "SELECT * FROM items WHERE category='test'";
$result = mysql_query($get_items);
while($item = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$creator = $item['created_by'];
echo "<b>Seller: </b>"."<a href='userprof.php?id=$creator'>$creator</a>";
}
?>
Clicking on this link takes it to a user profile page that I created. But I want "userprof.php?id=$creator" to know which user to display the account information. Is this the best way to do this? How can I read the url and display the correct information?
