Hello :)

I want to make this "profile page" for my website.
the idea with it is that you can enter some things about yourself like age, name etc, even a profile picture.
Im really blank here, anyone could point me in the right direction.
Some tutorial or guides would be cool :)

Thanks guyse :D

You just need to gathering information about user that login at your website.

If user login, we can get id of user, with that id we can get profile of the user from database and display it.

Start to create the php file. if you find problem, we can discuss later. Take heart.

Doing a profile page is pretty simple.. Just insert textboxes to registration form with fields that you want.. for example..

Username<br />
<input type="text" name="username" /><br />
Email<br />
<input type="text" name="email" />

Then add those fields to database and just display them in your profile page. :)

Hey jaan, thanks for your answer :)
I know how to do it, i will do like adding fields to my db and then just row them out.
But if im making ONE page and row the information out, other users cant view MY information, but they will get their own information. Can you see my problem??
I will like to know how every user can view others profile, thanks :)

Select all id and name of users, next display them as a link.

----------------------------------------------------
for each id do :
$id = ...; //get id from database
$name = ...; ////get name from database
<a href="detailprofile.php?id=$id">$name</a>
------------------------------------------------------

and at detailprofile.php
you get id with $_GET, and this time, you select all information of user with that id, display it

*** I assume that you dont have problem with syntax

@abdul yea you are correct..

you should have this url like this: useinfo.php?id=1
for example ofc..
and this id is 1 so you have to order information about a field which contains id 1. :)
