displaying profile image thumbnail in the <example.php> page (Version 2)

Olaf: -I followed your advice on keeping the <users> table clean, and instead use an already existing field
in the <users_profile> table for storing the URL to the profile image thumbnail.
This introduced a new problem with making the correct mySQL-query, since I realized that I had to make
a query in the <users_profile> table based on info in the <users> table.
I googled for tutorials and examples on joined/nested/subqueries in mySQL and understood NOTHING of it.
After much reading and thinking I did succeed in writing a query that does what I want it to.
Here's the code:

<img src="
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "db_username", "db_password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("db_name") or die(mysql_error());

$query= "SELECT user_1
FROM users, users_profile
WHERE users.id = users_profile.users_id&& users.login = '$page_protect->user'";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

while($data = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

echo $data['user_1'];
}
?>
" border="1">

Your access_class_user script has made me learn a bit of mySQL/php, and the reason is that I'm forced to find things out on my own. I guess you could have explained everything about the class, but then people wouldn't learn much.  :)

to use a thumbnail it's very easy to use md5(username).jpg as image name (no database mutation needed)

or if you store the info inside the profile table use the profile extenstion (check the example file how to obtain the different fields)
