[SOLVED] getting user class

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

on a users profile page i was going to add an edit post button (only for moderator and above to see) if the users class isn't mod or admin then echo no edit button, but it isn't going to plan

 

heres my coding:

 

     while ($row_display = mysql_fetch_array($result5)) {
     
     $post_id = $row_display['id'];
     $user_id = $row_display['user_id'];
     $user_comments = $row_display['comment'];
     $post_date = $row_display['date_added'];
     
     // get the usernames and links...///////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query6 = "SELECT * FROM `membership` WHERE `id`='$user_id'";
     $result6 = mysql_query($query6);     
     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result6);
     
     $poster_id = $row['id'];
     $poster_name = $row['username'];
     $poster_avatar = $row['avatar'];
     $poster_class = $row['user_class'];
     
     // start making a table:)...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     echo '<table width="500" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" />
           <tr>
           <td colspan="2" align="left" /> <a href="user_details.php?id='.$poster_id.'" />'.$poster_name.'</a> - (<b>'.$poster_class.'</b>) - <font size="1" />Posted On: '.$post_date.'</font> ';
           
           // if the user class fits echo edit button etc.../////////////////////////////
           
           if($poster_class != "Moderator" && $poster_class != "Administrator") {
           

           echo "Can't Edit Wrong UserClass!";
      
           
     ####################     
     } else {
     ####################      

           echo "<font size=\"1\">[<a href=\"mod_edit_comments.php?id=$post_id\"/><font color=\"red\" />EDIT</font></a>]";

              
     }
     
     echo ' </td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
            <td width="150" align="center" /><img src="avatars/'.$poster_avatar.'" /></td><td width="350" align="left" valign="top"/>'.$user_comments.'</td>
            </tr><br />';
     
     }  
               
     echo '</table><br />';
     
     } else {
                         
        echo "<b>No Comments Have Been Added Yet!</b><br /><br />";
        
     
     }

 

thanks for any help guys

isn't going to plan is hardly a description of a problem!

[AndyB]

if($poster_class != "Moderator" && $poster_class != "Administrator") {

 

Think about that logic for a moment. If I'm a moderator it will fail because I'm not also an admin and vice versa.

 

What you want is if I'm a moderator OR an administrator then show the edit link.

Hi Guys,

 

Sorry i forgot i posted this link, unlike me.

 

yep i could have phrased it a lot better ultimately the link wasn't showing but as Andy has said i should have used OR instead of AND.

 

Thanks again guys
