    Hi Wasfi, 'nick' is a valid parameter of the user_menu.php page and it does exist (the page is expecting this parameter). When the user_menu.php page is requested with the the 'nick' parameter and a value ('student1' in this case), the page displays the user menu of the username submitted as a value to the nick parameter. Within the user menu page, one can see his personal details like address, phone etc.
