usergroup permissions

[redbullmarky]

chaps - please take note of the original question. whilst this is all good, and i'm picking stuff up from the argument that i didnt know before, the arguments of hex vs dec, encapsulation vs constants, etc are not gonna help the OP.

you both know your stuff - that's pretty obvious - but can you possibly stick to the topic and present a solution rather than a "best practice" argument?

cheers

Don't have to use hex, can stick with decimal..

[code]<?php

if (!($perm ^ 2))
{
    $perm = $perm | 2;
}

?>[/code]
[/quote]

2 looks like a literal to me.

redbull, it would appear that the original question has been answered and that the topic has been changed to, "How do we design a system that can handle not only permissions for a forums module, but any other module we decide to add in the future?"

@Roopurt & Jenk

I agree with redbull. Cut out the irrelevant arguments, as far as the topic concerned, or I'll knock you heads together and close the thread. If you want to argue the point ad nauseam, do it in the miscellaneous forum.

[/quote]Nice of you to ignore my reply after that ;)

I'm done.

Not always...

[code]<?php
   
    class messages {
       
        const TYPE_ERROR = 1;
        const TYPE_CONFIRM = 2;
       
        function add_message($message, $type = TYPE_ERROR) {
           
        }
    }
   
    //normal use
    $message = new messages();
    $message->add_message("Well done!", messages::TYPE_CONFIRM);
    $message->add_message("Warning though, don't do this again", messages::TYPE_ERROR);
   
?>[/code]

Kind of old topic to bump to make a point...
