User Authentication Class #312798 Jan 19th a 10:59 PM

Attached is the file. Rename it user_auth.inc.php and throw it in the includes directory of your forums.

Then just require the file and use it as follows

PHP Code

// Usage:

$userob = new user_auth();

// Am I logged in?
if( $userob->is_logged_in ) {
	// I am logged in
}

// Am I in group 3?
if( $userob->in_group( 3 ) ) {
	// Why, yes we are
}

// Who cares what group I'm in! I wanna know
// if I can read a topic from forum 7
if( $userob->check_access( 7, "read" ) ) {
	// Apparently I can
}

// What if I want to know if I'm an administrator
if( $userob->fields['USER_MEMBERSHIP_LEVEL'] == "Administrator" ) {
	// That means I'm teh uber user	
}

// Want to create a welcome message?
if( $userob->is_logged_in ) {
	if( $userob->is_banned ) {
		echo "Go away, " . $userob->fields['USER_DISPLAY_NAME'];
	} else {
		echo "Welcome, " . $userob->fields['USER_DISPLAY_NAME'];
	}
} else {
	echo "Please register";
}

Note that $userob->fields is the same as the $user you've been using before, just wanted to not have two different variables hanging around

If you have any problems, it could be due to some paths being off, but the php error will explain that
