So, i use the $user['fidx'] to get the custom profile fields, however one user that i tested with (which happens to be super admin) the $user array doesnt have any fid keys, and the other user (uid 2) has allt he fid that i need.
it's really puzzling me, and any help would be much appreciated. is it because the user was created before the fid's were added?
If a user was created before a field was added it will not have any value.

i see, i added values to the user in the database, but i assume that has no bearing?
is there anything i can do?

another thing, does this also affect new fields being created, for example, if i added a new field, will it not appear for anyone who already has an account?
After doing some more testing, i have discovered that the get_user($uid) user contains the fidx fields of the user that i'm logged in as. is there a way to get the fidx of ANY user?
You'd need this:
$query = $db->simple_select("profilefields", "*", "puid=x");
$memprofile = $db->fetch_array($query);
Replace x with the users uid.

thanks a lot, much appreciated
Turns out the table is userfields instead of profilefields.
