Let certain usernames and Messages appear in its own color

cobusbo · October 4, 2014

Hi I'm trying to make use of an array with usernames in it and want to make use of it to display users with those usernames in a certain color in this case Im trying red.

I've made an array with username in it

$admin = array("SYSOP","~cobusbo~");

and I've tried to print these messages with color with the If function without luck

if ($name == $admin) {
$name = print '<span style="color:red">' . $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_NICK"] . '</span>';
}
else
{
$name = print $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_NICK"];
}

Here is my full code

<?php
        /*** begin the session ***/
        session_start();

        /*** create the form token ***/
        $form_token = uniqid();

        /*** add the form token to the session ***/
        $_SESSION['form_token'] = $form_token;

$conn = mysql_connect('**********','********','**********') or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$db = mysql_select_db('u506124311_cobus',$conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);


// find out how many rows are in the table 
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM StringyChat";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];

// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 20;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);

// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) {
   // cast var as int
   $currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage'];
} else {
   // default page num
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
   // set current page to last page
   $currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
   // set current page to first page
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// the offset of the list, based on current page 
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;

$admin is an array. It doesn't make sense to compare a string to an array.

You want in_array.

Ok thanks I've implemented it but seems like I have done something wrong

here is my current code

Seems like I did something wrong over here

              // IP address of submitter and time of post.
$ip = $_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"];
$name = $_SESSION['userName'];
$msg = $_POST['StringyChat_message'];
$post_time = date("U");
$admin = array("SYSOP","~cobusbo~");
$mxitid = $_SERVER["HTTP_X_MXIT_LOGIN"];

if (in_array("SYSOP", "cobusbo", $admin))
{
print '<span style="color:red">' . $name . '</span>';
}
else
{
print '$name'; 
}

Im getting the following error each time Im trying to post a message

Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/u506124311/public_html/ag/page.php on line 185

The error message tells you what you did wrong.

If you have read the documentation for in_array you would understand what values it expects.

The error message tells you what you did wrong.

Ok I'm going to pass on the arrays I tried to do it with one value only

if ($name = "cobusbo")
{
$name = '<span style="color:red">' . '$name' . '</span>';
}
else
{
$name = '$name'; 
}

What im basically trying to do is to specify admin users and moderator users. So if their name is cobusbo I want their message to appear in red. But currently the above insertion has no impact what so ever on my chat. all colors stil display in black...

I'm not sure what I should do regarding this problem...

Barand · October 5, 2014

the comparison operator is "=="

Ch0cu3r · October 5, 2014

Ok I'm going to pass on the arrays

Why?

The code you posted in reply #3 is on the right track. The problem is you are giving in_array the wrong values.

You should pass $name as the first argument and $admin as the second argument.

if (in_array($name, $admin))
{
    print '<span style="color:red">' . $name . '</span>';
}
else
{
   print $name; 
}

A better way would be to add another column in your users table in the database. The value stored in this column will determine the role the user has. Example normal users have the role set to 1, 2 is for moderators and 3 is for admins.

Then all you need to do is check the role to determine the color of the users name. Example code

// an array storing the colors for each role. The role is used as the key
$colors = array(
   1 => 'black',
   2 => 'blue',
   3 => 'red'
);

$name = 'johnDoe';
$role = 3;

// dynamically assigns the color based on role
echo '<span style="color: ' . $colors[$role] . '">' . $name . '</span>'; // will show as red

The code for in_array is fine the problem is with your code.

$admin is only defined on line 186 if the condition on line 136 is true

 if (isset($StringyChat_name) && isset($StringyChat_message))

You need to modify your code so $admin is not defined within a condition.

Thank you but that wasn't the problem.

$admin = array("SYSOP","cobusbo");

Wasn't in my query so I had to move it down to just before I did my print out and if function.

$admin = array("SYSOP","cobusbo");

if (in_array($name, $admin))
{
    print '<span style="color:red">' . $name . '</span>';
}
else
{
   print $name;
