access to page for certain pages via mysql

[gweilo]

Hi guys so i want to make page acces to certain ranks.

So im thinking for something like this

    rank1 -> home.php, admins.php
    rank2 -> home.php
    rank3 -> home.php
    rank4 -> home.php

So the ranks are in a database with the page names. So now when someone logs in they will get a certain rank. So now i need to make a function that will check if the rank has access to this page.

$curPageName = substr($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],strrpos($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"],"/")+1);

This will detect the current page that the logged in person is at now. But now how do i check if the $_SESSION['rank']; (rank1) has the access to get in page admins.php, and obviously to make $_SESSION['rank'];(rank2) redirect from the page admins.php

Could someone point me in the right direction? Do i select the ranks and page names from database then put it into a array?

Thanks.

Too magical.

For each page where you care about this, call a function with an identifier for the page. I don't mean "home.php" or "admins.php". I mean like "home" or "admin" or whatever label you want. The function grabs the rank from the session and looks it up in the database. With a query. And reacts accordingly.
