You are missing a closing bracket on the preceeding block of code.

no the closing bracket is in my code just didnt copy my code that far down

Well, I don't really see what you want to accomplish with this code, but my observations:
1. the code for the if
[code]if ($user[uRank] ==3)[/code]
2. you do not close your opening brace
3. what does the empty echo do?
4. what are the key 7 and 8 assignments doing in the 'if' result?
5. your closing parenth does not have an opening parenth

1. i dont understand what u mean.
2. there is a closing bracket i just didnt copy that far down in my code.
3. the echo is to echo the staff forums
4. there are 8 topics to my forum.
5. sorry but whats parenth mean?

more of my code to help you understand.

[code]        $forumz = array(1 => 'Announcements',
                        2 => 'General Discussion',
        3 => 'Newbie Help',
4 => 'Fun And Games',
        5 => 'Non-Game',
        6 => 'Game Help',
        if ($user[uRank==3]) {
        echo;
                7 => 'Staff General',
                8 => 'Staff bug report');
}[/code]

Edit... the if statement is so only staff with that urank can see the topics

Thanks

I cannot find head or tail in your code, but my solution would be to define the array and to remove the entries if a user is not 3, with the following code:
[code]<?php
$forumz = array(1 => 'Announcements',
                2 => 'General Discussion',
  3 => 'Newbie Help',
  4 => 'Fun And Games',
  5 => 'Non-Game',
  6 => 'Game Help',
  7 => 'Staff General',
  8 => 'Staff bug report'
);
if ($user[uRank] != 3) {
  unset($forumz['7']);
  unset($forumz['8']);
}
?>[/code]

or[code]
$forumz = array(1 => 'Announcements',
                      2 => 'General Discussion',
      3 => 'Newbie Help',
      4 => 'Fun And Games',
      5 => 'Non-Game',
      6 => 'Game Help');
if ($user[uRank==3]) {
  $forumz[7] = 'Staff General';
  $forumz[8] = 'Staff bug report';
}[/code]
