I want a user to see only his profile and information in his network without seeing just everthing each time he logs on. some help plz. thank u

What your asking is no simple question. There is no way I could explain it all in one post. You need to do alot of learning and research before you tackle something like this. You will need a good grasp of a programming/scripting language and SQL for databases.

If your already put off, have a look at some Open source social networking software. Should get the job done, if that's your only goal.

Some social networking software:
iSocial (http://sourceforge.net/projects/socialnetwork/)
