Members' Status Levels

[Goldeneye]

Greetings:

 

I'm working on this kind of CMS, and have 5 user levels..

-1: Banned; 1: New User; 2: Regular User; 3: Moderator; and 4: Administrator.

 

So in the user profiles I'm trying to get #: (Level Title).. so like 4: (Administrator).

Here's what I did to do that

<?php
else if($user !== $_SESSION['user_id']){
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT id, username, email, level FROM userbase") or die(mysql_error());
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
		if($_GET['user'] == $row['id']){
			gHeader('Userlist: '.$row['username']);
			echo '<table border="1px">';
			echo '<tr><td>username</td><td>' . $row['username'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>User ID</td><td>' . $row['id'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>Email</td><td>' . $row['email'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>User Level</td><td>' . $row['level']; levelTitles() . '</td><tr>';
			echo '</table>';
		}
	}
}
?>

 

Here's the levelTitles() function:

<?php
function levelTitles(){
if($row['level'] = '4') {echo ' (Administrator)';}
else if($row['level'] = '3') {echo ' (Moderator)';}
else if($row['level'] = '2') {echo ' (Regular User)';}
else if($row['level'] = '1') {echo ' (New User)';}
else if($row['level'] = -'1') {echo ' (Banned)';}

?>

 

That seemed to worked fine if you're an Administrator because it'll display "4 (Administrator)." So I tried that out on my test account which is a New User, and it displayed, "1 (Administrator)."

 

I'm sure this whole thing is actually very easy, and I'm just completely overlooking it, but any help would be greatly appreciated..

the function levelTitles() does not have access to $row, plus you're assigning a value to it instead of comparing, so $row['level'] = '4' will always be true in the function levelTitles()

 

i suggest that you pass $row['level'] as a parameter:

 

function levelTitles($level){
if($level == '4') {
            echo ' (Administrator)';
        } else if($level == '3') {
            echo ' (Moderator)';
        } else if($level == '2') {
            echo ' (Regular User)';
        } else if($level == '1') {
            echo ' (New User)';
        } else if($level == -'1') {
            echo ' (Banned)';
        }
}

// Called using
echo '<tr><td>User Level</td><td>' . $row['level']; levelTitles($row['level']) . '</td><tr>';

<?php
else if($user !== $_SESSION['user_id']){
	$query = mysql_query("SELECT id, username, email, level FROM userbase") or die(mysql_error());
	while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
		if($_GET['user'] == $row['id']){
			gHeader('Userlist: '.$row['username']);
			echo '<table border="1px">';
			echo '<tr><td>username</td><td>' . $row['username'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>User ID</td><td>' . $row['id'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>Email</td><td>' . $row['email'] . '</td><tr>';
			echo '<tr><td>User Level</td><td>' . $row['level']; levelTitles($row['level']) . '</td><tr>';
			echo '</table>';
		}
	}
}
?>

 

<?php
function levelTitles($titleno){
if($titleno == '4') {echo ' (Administrator)';}
else if($titleno == '3') {echo ' (Moderator)';}
else if($titleno == '2') {echo ' (Regular User)';}
else if($titleno == '1') {echo ' (New User)';}
else if($titleno == -'1') {echo ' (Banned)';}

?>

 

I'm don't have access to a server so I can't test it ATM.

 

EDIT: Didn't notice the single = instead of comparator.

^ No. You're still assigning with one = instead of comparing with two ==. $titleno = '4' will always be true and you'll still always see (Administrator).

So I have to do a separate query for the levelTitles() function? Alright, that's understandable. I thought because the query was already present in the IF statement, then I could just use that as long as the levelTitles() function came after that.

Also, I tried using the comparison operator, and it didn't even return anything.. But the Separate query would change that?

 

Of course, it makes sense now. I tried something like that in the first place but instead used an array for the user levels instead of IF statements.

 

I also did try doing a comparison instead of an assignment, but it didn't even return anything. So I just switched back to assignments.

 

I give your code a shot, thanks a lot guys.

how did it work out for you?

metrostars' code gave me a warning

Warning: Missing argument 1 for leveltitles() in /home/gen/sites/globals.php on line 28

[metrostars]

Did you change the 1st piece of code as well as the 2nd?

Nevemind, I got it, there was an IF statement before the one I put up here in that script so I had to change that as well. Thanks a lot!
