membership system help

[blueman]

hi, i am trying to create a simple membership system that allows registered members with limited privileges  and admin with full privileges. could you give a suggestion? thanks

[ataria]

Make a row in the database with the name 'level' (or whatever you want.)

then. make it 1 for admin, and, 0 for member.

that should solve all your problems.

In addition to what ataria has posted, if you really want to get creative, make the user level 1 and the Admin level 99

Then you could have different levels of user priviledges.

Hope this tidbit is of some use to you

There is a tutorial on this site

what i prefer to do... is have this

[code]
#security --> 1.1.1.1.1 or 0.0.1.0.1 or the likes
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE `login`='$id' LIMIT 1");
$row=mysql_fetch_array($result);
$security=explode(".",$row[security]);
[/code]

now you can literally turn any feature on/off for some people, and on for others

[code]
if($security[9]==1) echo 'admin'; #etc
[/code]
