Member permissions? eg.Only users can post story.

[spyderfusion02]

Hey I would like to allow only the user of my site to post stories. Im new to PHP and was wondering if anyone had tutorials on this topic or any info on where I should start?

 

Thanks for the help.

are you grabinng the user permissions from a database? if so you could do something like this:

 

<?php
if($row['permission'] == 1) {
// display post story form
} else {
echo "You do not have permission to post a story!";
}
?>

I would like to allow people to post stories only when they are logged in. If they are not then they would have to register for an account.

<?php
if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin'])) {
die("You must be logged in! If you don't have a Account you can <a href=\"register.php\">register one</a>");
} else {
// display the post story form
}
?>

note, for each page a user must be logged in to view, if your going to use sessions. you need this at the very top of each page before anything else....

<?php
session_start();
