echo values in an array

[jowatkins]

Please help. I have done this before but can't remember how at all.

I have an array on each page setting the access levels that will allow users entry.

$access = array ("member", "admin", "webadmin");

I want to call this array in another function but when I call the array it doesn't seem to have any valuables. It is set as global so it's not a scope issue.

echo "access = $access";

I know it's simple but my head's gone...

I think it is a scope issue - did you declare it global inside the function?

function func() {
global $acccess;
echo "access = $access";
}

yes, I did.

here is the code that goes in each page, obvously the array values will vary.

global $access;
$access = array ("member", "admin", "webadmin");

then the function is:
function allow_access()
{

global $access;
global $auth;
global $admEmail;

echo "auth=$auth";
if (!$auth)
{ //if their access level isn't set
error_format();
echo "Your authorisation level has not yet been set.<br/>";
echo "Please contact the $admEmail to request this is updated";
end_format();
exit;
}
else

{ //check their authorisation against the page access
echo "access = $access";
for ($i=1;$i<count($access);$i++)
{
if ($auth !== $access)
{
error_format();
echo "Sorry, you are not authorised to access this page. <br/>";
echo "Please contact the $admEmail to request this is updated";
end_format();
exit;
}
}

}
}
