Hi, im having trouble setting a php variable for my gaming ladder script. Im setting admin group permissions to allow a group access to a specific variable (i think thats what you call it) .. simply put i want a newly created admin group access to changing ladder rules.

The code im editing is

if($_SESSION['rights'] == 100){

The 100 represents a user group and im trying to add the user group 40 in there aswell.

Ive tried

if($_SESSION['rights'] == 40,100){

but that didnt seem to do it. im sure this is pretty easy stuff if you understand php just i havent been able to bring myself to learn it yet i know i should though ... any ideas how i can do this ? would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

session_start();

$_SESSION['usergroup'][1] = 100; 
$_SESSION['usergroup'][2] = 40; 

echo $_SESSION['usergroup'][1].'<br />';
echo $_SESSION['usergroup'][2];

I'm not sure what you're asking for, but it looks like you need to send an array to the session

$_SESSION['rights'][]='40';
$_SESSION['rights'][]='100';

The second set of parentheses assigns the value a new place in the $_SESSION['rights'] array.

 

Then you can iterate over these values using a loop in your recieving script:

$rights = $_SESSION['rights'];
//test to see if it's an array
if(is_array($rights)){
  //foreach($rights as $r){

  switch($rights){

  case '100':
  //do this

  case '40':
  //do that

  }//end switch

  }//end foreach

}// end is_array if

else...

 

...perform same test for single variable i.e: if $rights is not an array.

since you are likely to test against the same criteria, you might want to house the switch in a function so it can be called against arrays and variables alike.

Thanks guys in the end ive used

if($_SESSION['rights'] == 100);
if($_SESSION['rights'] == 40){

i figured that out after your suggestions so thanks really helped me out there

The standard way of doing that would be using the || (or) logical operator. So you would have:

 

if($_SESSION['rights'] == 100 || $_SESSION['rights'] == 40) {
//strut your stuff here
}

Literally, the || means "or". You can also use && for "and", > for "more than" and so on. A full list of PHP's logical operators is available here.
