Default Php links

Right. I have successfully generate the variable I need with this code:
PHP:
PHP Code:
$query sprintf("SELECT id FROM ibf_members WHERE name='%s'",
    
mysql_real_escape_string($username));

// Perform Query
$result mysql_query($query);

// Check result
// This shows the actual query sent to MySQL, and the error. Useful for debugging.
if (!$result) {
    
$message  'Invalid query: ' mysql_error() . "\n";
    
$message .= 'Whole query: ' $query;
    die(
$message);
}

// Use result
// Attempting to print $result won't allow access to information in the resource
// One of the mysql result functions must be used
// See also mysql_result(), mysql_fetch_array(), mysql_fetch_row(), etc.
while ($row mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    print 
$row['id'];
}

// Free the resources associated with the result set
// This is done automatically at the end of the script
mysql_free_result($result); 

But I need to include the $row['id'] variable in a link.

The link should be in the following format:

http://forum.example.com/index.php?showuser=$row['id']

But I don't know how to write that in php.

I would also like 'View your forum CP' to be shown as the 'link'

I hope someone understands me, because even I'm not sure!
