display field syntax

I am fairly new to Drupal . While I am fairly able to get results with php sytax , like many it seems I am struggling with drupal . Anyone who can help with this?

I have members on my site . I used the content profile module in favour of the std profile module .

I have all my user field created as a content type profile. All is well and good it seems to be working and registration is working also .

I am using the zeropoint theme and have created the user-profile.tpl.php file and that is overiding correctly .

~~ Here is the rub ~~
