How can i do this?

[Luke]

I'm in the process of making a friends system on my private messaging system.

On the compose (pnew.php) page, there is the recieptant box,
so how can i make it that when i click the friends name, it comes up with the compose page with the recieptant box already filled in.
Something like pnew.php?name={username}

To help
Lets just say that the textbox is named "name"
And the mysql db thing for username is "username"

Thanks
Luke

Make it so that its like

<a href="message.php?name=$friendnamevariable[1]">$friendsnamevariable[1]</a> 

Then on the page that u want it to be filled in just use

$sendto = Secure($_GET[name]);
echo ("<input type=text value=$sendto>"); 

Secure is your own securing function

I'd just query the username and then fetch the array?

I replied as if he had already done that lol..

$getusers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `USERTABLE`");
while ($allusers = mysql_fetch_array($getusers)){
echo "<a href=\"message.php?name=$allusers[username]\">$allusers[username]</a><br>";
} 

SORRY if any of that is wrong. I know you could've probably used assoc and it would've worked faster but i am outa practise im afraid.
