Creating a Loging Script

[topflight]

Hi all I am in the process of creating a log in system and I would like some feedback,suggestions as I am new to php. I will be using sessions, however I will have different setting (i.e 1=user 2=admin 3=hm and etc..) and I want to show certain things in the login script base on their permissions. Suggestions are welcome.

 

 

Thanks in Advanced

In your users table, add a column called 'access', or 'rank', or something, and register it in your session, eg:

 

session_register("access");

 

Then, in your access column, just add different levels to users.

 

If you want to block access to a certain page, if the user level is below the required, add this to the header;

 

<? 
session_start();
if(!session_is_registered(access)){
header("location:index.php");
}
if ($access < 2) {
header("location:denied.php");
}
?>

 

This will send all users with an access level of below 2 to 'denied.php'.

 

Hope that helps.

Well currently I have it set up so that if you are a bm(board member) you will get a 1 if you are not you will get a 0. That's how all the other permissions are set up to. If that ok you think?
