You will need to setup a database with columns for each field in the user's profile. Then, when the user clicks on his profile, he will see text boxes, with his profile information from the database filling them. He then changes the boxes if he wants, and clicks the ok button. You would probably want to use POST for that. Then, it takes him to a page that submits the POST data back to the database. If another user clicks on his profile, it's the same thing, except the information isn't in text boxes.
Hope this helps.

What i mean is that, people will be able to view your profile like that of facebook.com, but you will also have access to change you profile by signing-in but visitors will only be able to view you profile without being able to edit your detail.
