and am i still using [code=php:0]$GET = $mem[id];[/code] ??

Don't call your variable $GET as it's too much like $_GET which is a predefined variable in php.

I'll post a simple bit of code for you to just see if it works, then complicate it and fit the other bits around it.  I've taken this nearly all from your code so it looks familiar to you.

[code]
<?php
// Connect to the database
include 'database.php';

// Query the database and assign the results to a variable
$view = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = '{$_GET['id']}' LIMIT 1";
$view2 = mysql_query($view) or die("Couldn't execute $sql:\n\n" . mysql_error());
$view3 = mysql_fetch_assoc($view2) or die("Couldn't fetch the results:" . mysql_error());
$user = $view3['username'];

$admin_ids = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);

foreach ($admin_ids as $id){
  if ($view3['id'] == $id){
      $admin = "y";
  }
}

if ($admin == "y"){
  echo "{$view3['username']} is an administrator\n";
}
else {
  echo "{$view3['username']} is not an administrator\n";
}
?>
[/code]

Call this code something like testforadmin.php and make sure you pass it a value like this testforadmin.php?id=3

Post any errors that you get here.

thanks it worked perfectly, have started to tweak it now with other column values etc...
thanks again  ;D

OK, well I'm glad that it worked.  You could reduce the overhead even more by including a 'role' column in your database that designates whether the user is 'admin' or not...

This way you can do away with the $admin_ids array and use the value from the database to check if their admin or not.  Something like this...

[code]<?php
if ($view3['role'] == "admin"){
  echo "{$view3['username']} is an administrator\n";
}
else {
  echo "{$view3['username']} is not an administrator\n";
}
?>[/code]
