I'm trying to make a selection from the database based on a users name. So, I made something that looks kinda like this:
SELECT * FROM nuke_profiles WHERE username = $urname


that is from a php page, so $urname will be the name you are logged in as. Does there need to be quotes on that variable? I tried '".$urname."' and it didnt work, so im stuck here.

Thanks

Not quotes you can use hash '$urname' marks (and should if the variable is numeric) but not quotes. Does the query not work?

An easy way to test it is to just put that into phpmyadmin and see what it gives you.

SELECT * FROM nuke_profiles WHERE username ='$urname'


Just replace the $urname with a name you know is there.
