Show / Hide content based on access levels (php)

Apr 12, 2012 6:02 AM

Tags: #php #show/hide_field

I have a region of a web page that is visible only to logged in users with the access level 'level1' - I want to amend this code and add a second user access level 'level2'.

 

So basically I want users with access 'level1' and 'level2' to see 'X' content.

 

Here's the code....

 

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) && $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']=='level1'){ ?>

 

'content here'

 

<?php } ?>

 

 

I tried amending the code to the following but without luck:

 

<?php if (isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) && $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']=='level1,level2'){ ?>

 

 

Any help would be appreciated!

    Are you trying to test for users that are in a group called 'level1,level2' ?  Or testing if the user is in either level1, or level2? If the latter, then obviously your code won't work. You would need to check for either condition.

     

    <?php if (isset($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']) && ($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']=='level1') || $_SESSION['MM_UserGroup']=='level2')){ ?>

    It was the latter I was looking for.

     

    I pasted in your code and got a syntax error - I just needed to delete an extra ) near the end of the code and it worked a treat!

     

     

    Thanks for your help
