Sorry for what's probably a very basic question to anyone who knows anything about PHP....

I have a block that's only seen by logged-in users. Right now it includes some static links to frequently-used spots on the site. I'd like to add a link to the user's own tracker.

It would be a link like "user/[user#]/track"

The thing is, I don't know how to tell Drupal to replace "[user#]" with the right number for the logged-in user.... Could anyone tell me how?

Many thanks,
P

To do this "by hand" via PHP, you would first need to set the input format of the block content to "PHP code". Then, you put something like this (in Drupal 5 at least)

<?php global $user; print l('My Posts', 'user/' . $user->uid . '/track'); ?>

where you'd want to print the link to the user's tracker.
