 * Hi,
 * I am fairly new to WordPress but i have a question about modifying the author.
   php code. I went in a customized the user-edit.php with custom fields (we are
   doing a directory.) But when i try to add those fields with $curauth->ID; and
   the name of the field that I put in…i get a blank space.
 * Now it works for user_email, user_name and description but my question is if 
   i create extra $curauth->ID; fields like street, zip, or phone…will wordpress
   pick those up…(right now it’s not)? So what am i doing wrong? please help….!!!
