multi-level user

[jwadenpfuhl]

okay, I'm needing help creating a multi-level user registration. What I mean by that is this:

"Joe" registers for a vendor account. He chooses the "Dealership" purchase plan.

I need that purchase plan variable to "stick" to this user every time he logs in. I also need the purchase plan variable to determine which page he goes to when he logs in(different pages for different prices).

I can get the user logged in without any issue. The problem arises when I try to log in the user and divert him according to his purchase plan.

Hope this makes sense. Any help is most appreciated.

PHP 4.3.10
MySQL 3.23.58

I cant provide any direct code (I can't do PHP4 OOP) but it sounds like a good place to use some OOP inheritance, and tie the person's username in the database to their current purchase plan...
Such as "dealership extends basic_member" then override the basic_member's starting page variable with the dealership's starting page variable in the dealership class... (as if that couldn't be worded any better)

Another way would be to hardcode it into the script, and just set it in the page, retrieve the purchase plan they're on, and then say
[code=php:0]
if(purchaseplan == blah) {
  $startpage = "blahs_start_page.php";
}
[/code]

I'd prefer the former method of class inheritance though....

this might help you it's a really good tutorial for a login page with remember fetures and the ability to set user levels. I've got it working with my site to allow people of varying degrees different access around my site.
