I am creating a page to be viewable only by members of a certain group, but am having problems finding the right info to check. Right now I can access the page as admin using this:<br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr><br /><br />if ($user['U_Status'] == 'Administrator') {<br />include "info.php";<br />} else {<br />echo "You are not authorized or not logged in.";<br />}<br /><br /></pre><hr><br /><br />Which works fine for me as admin, but I need it to work for an existing group called 'Members'. I'm still new to this stuff, but I bet this is an easy one for the gurus around here <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /><br />Any help is appreciated!

1) Is there a call $user = $userob -> authenticate(...) before the code you provided above? If so, could you show me exactly what it looks like?<br /><br />2) I assume that you want the page to be accessible by both administrators and users in the 'Members' group?<br /><br />3) What's the ID of the 'Members' group? You can determine that with the query: SELECT G_Name,G_Id FROM w3t_Groups WHERE G_Name='Members'

The code up in the file is <br /><br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr><br /> $userob = new user;<br /> $user = $userob -> authenticate();<br /></pre><hr><br /><br />That query returns:<br /><br />G_Name G_Id <br />Members 5 <br />

Change <br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$user = $userob -> authenticate();</pre><hr> <br />to <pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>$user = $userob -> authenticate('U_Groups');</pre><hr> <br /> <br />Then change the code in your first post to: <br /><pre><font class="small">code:</font><hr>if (($user['U_Status'] == 'Administrator') or strpos($user['U_Groups'],'-5-') !== false) { <br /> include 'info.php'; <br />} else { <br /> echo 'You are not authorized or not logged in.'; <br />}</pre><hr>

Works great! Many thanks! <img src="/forum/images/icons/smile.gif" alt="" />
