You'd want to use the $_GET function.

Pass your players username (or id) through the url like so:

www.yoursite.com/some_directory/index.php?id=username_here

You'd change the bits that needed changing - the bits that are in bold ;)

On your php page, in this case it's index.php,
you'd have something like so:
[php]
<?php
$user = $_GET['id']; // GETS the string following 'id' in the url.
// execute code here
// query your db with the $user
?>
[/php]
Hope that helps :)

Also, you can pass multiple values with the url by seperating them with a &

e.g.
www.yoursite.com/somedirectory/index.php?id=username&something=blah&something_else=yeh

thnx mate but unfortunatly i think i was unable to explain my problem. I am not posting any form. It will be just a list of players hyperlinks. if a user clicks on a hyperlink of any players name the page should redirect to detailed profile of that player. that detailed profile is saved in database. How can i instruct database which profile it should show?

Do exactly what i said...

add the usersname into a url : yoursite.com/user/?user=username

when the user clicks the url they'll be taken to : yoursite.com/user/?user=username

on the yoursite.com/user/index.php page

do this

[php]
$user = $_GET['user'];
[/php]
then do anything you have to using the variable $user...
