Admin Account Activation

Ive made a login script, and database, however when they register i want each person to be assigned as a guest, and then for me to change their rank manually. so guests cant access pages until they become members can ne 1 help?
cheers

Add an extra field to your user database for "access_rights".

Part of your login can then check the contents (simple TINYINT should do the trick) and build your page accordingly

what would the code be to do that? 🙂

You should know that if you made a login script. 😛

It would be easy. You use phpMyAdmin? Just create a new field, as siwis said, then when the user registers set it as 'guest' then you can use phpMyAdmin every day or something and simply edit the rows, and modify the data.

On the members pages where you check if they are logged in, you'd also check the database if that is guest, if it is, tell them they wait for you to activate their account.

so a simple if statement,

if($rank=guest) {
<normal page goes here>
}
else {
Awaiting Activation }

about the login script... i formed the basics of it however i had to get help from a website on the main core of it.
would the if statement go after i have selected the field 'rank' from the table?

i was just wondering, how would i select only that field AND use it as a variable in the rest of the PHP script?
