Promote a user (Membership System)

[bilis_money]

Hi, can someone share the idea of how to promote a regular member into MODS or ADMIN?

I have a problem which has a similar logic like this.

 

Can you show me how is this done using class (OOP)?

 

 

thank you very much in advance.

I use a 'user_level' to do things like that. Set the session/cookie variables to store user_level along with all the other stuff you need to pass along. the code would look something like this assuming you use sql you can just add another column to your user table that would set user level.

 

user_level1 = admin

user_level2 = helper

user_level3 = user

 

<?php

if($user_level == 1) {
            //This would be the top admin area
           include"admin.php";
}

if($user_level == 2) {
          //This could be a helper type area
         include"helper.php";
}

if($user_level == 3) {
         //This would be a regular user area
        include"user.php";
}
?>

I usually use "level" or "type" in my membership databases that allow a member into different parts of the site.
