Specific User Login Redirect

PLEASE HELP ME.
I do not know much about coding.. I have created a database (mysql) I have a login and registration page. I need to make it so a user gets directed to their own page when they login..
Example:

If username is Dizzy123 then go to

www.mysite.com/members/Dizzy123/

I don't even know where to start.. Can some one give me some advice.

Well that pretty easy. In the code for checking the users login you can simply use a redirect header.


After the login has been verified you can grab the username either from the form they submitted or from the query you did to validate the login.

something like
$username = $_POST['username'];

or like

$username = $row['username'];

Obviously the exact coding will depend on what your coding is.

And then all you need is to redirect them with a redirect header like so.

header("Location: /members/" . $username);

you can use either a relative path something like above or use the full URL.

header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/members/" . $username);

Create a session on the login page called username that matches the username field in your form. Put something like this on the logged in correctly page...

<?php
$user = $_SESSION['username'];

header("location: /$user/");
?>
