freelance84 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 If you are writing your app from scratch... In your database, in your members table insert a column titled 'type'. Against each admin insert the number you wish to represent admin, eg 1.. for your other non admin members insert say 5... The reason I say 5 and not 2 is to allow your app to grow at a later date... EG you may wish to insert different levels of admin at a later date which may want to hold value 1 to 4... Then in your authenticate script, set a session according to the type filed in you members table.

KevinM1 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Have you tried looking up what a tinyint is in MySQL? Seriously, it's faster for you to do 30 seconds of research on something like this than to wait for someone else to provide you the answer.
