Session help/advice alotta reading

 

Ok this part has been added after writing all of the code below where I start with “Ok below” sigh

is there anyway to add a userlevel system with the current session I have or should I do something similar to what code I have after this code? Basically I want to have some parts restricted by user level where you have your Normal, Mod, Admin users set by either 1, 2, 3 in an array but I can also call and show there either Normal, Mod, Admin. Sorry for writing a lot but I dont have the net at home at the moment so im going to be awfully slow with replying

 

<?php
if ($_SESSION['isLogined']){ 
	//echo "LOGINNED"; 

} 
else { 
	echo "<br><br><center><font color=red>You are not logged in. Please login.</font></center><br><br><br><br>"; 
	include "bottom.php"; 
	include "right.php"; 
	exit; 
}
?>

 

Ok below is what i found in a book on how to make a session, what i was thinking is i could incorporate this into my script. But before I go adding loads of code and what not I want to make sure im getting things right and understand things. The header is ok I believe your stating the session and the output buffering (i'll read up on that), now on my database the user_id is just ID well UserDetails->ID so I would change that to just ID yes? And then add user_levels? As for the “Footer” the menu info is actually in my menu.php so I would put that info there yes? After that I kinda got a little lost as I didnt understand the login part properly so will be re-reading that section for the 5th time while you lot reply to this (if you reply that is lol). I have included the login par tof the script but replaced the info with my db stuff and changed a few words mostly mysqli to mysql and $r, $q to $result and $query.

 

If anyone is kind enough to read through all this I do have 1 or 2 more questions about incorporating it in my script

 

Header

<?php //Header

    //Start output buffering and session
ob_start;
session_start();
?>

 

Footer → Menu?

<?php //Footer

    //Display links based upon login status
if (isset($session['user_id'])) {
    
    echo 'links';
    
    //Add links if the user is an admin
if ($_SESSION['user_levels']==1){
    
    echo 'admin links';
    
    }
} else { //Not logged in
    
    echo 'Login/Register';
}
?>

<?php //Flush the bufferd output
ob_end_flush();
?>

 

Login

<?php //Login part my code isn't present

$query = “SELECT 'ID', 'user_level' FROM UserDetails WHERE (email='$email' AND pass=md5('$pass')) AND active IS '1'”;
$result = mysql_query ($dbc, $query);

if (@mysql_num_rows($result) ==1) { // A match was made.
//Register the values and redirect
$_SESSION = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC);
mysql_free_result($result);
mysql_close($dbc);

$url = BASE_URL . 'index.php'; //Define the url
ob_end_clean(); //Delete the buffer
header(“Location: $url”);
exit() //quit the script

}else{ //No match

echo 'Either username and password do not match or your account is not activated';
}

}else{ //Something wrong

echo 'Something is wrong please try again'
}

mysql_close($dbc)

} //End submit conditions
?>

 

anyway i'll be ehre for the next hour to see any replys otherwise it be on monday
