Profile page for different types of users

Hi,

I'm wondering if its possible to send the user to a different page (e.g. clientProfile.php) if the profile that they are trying to access is a client (as apposed to freelancer).

example:

If I have a list of all freelancers in a database (type=freelancer in user database table) and I click on their username (which is a link to their profile) it will send the user to freelancerProfile.php?$username

However, If I have a list of all clients in a database (type=client in user database table) and I click on their username (linked to their profile) I want the user to be sent to clientProfile.php?$username

The reason for this is because I want clients and freelancers pages to display different things to the user. E.g. I want freelancers to be able to display a CV but that isnt necessary for my client profile page.

I dont have any code yet as I want to know if it is doable before I start.

Thanks,

Joel.

I don't see the problem. By PHP (or any other server-side technology) you generate the content you want. Why not putting one or another link, depending on data?
