Help required with this simple problem!

[Scorpio___]

Hello,

Can anyone help with this problem?

I am trying to create an list of usernames that can be added to a blocked list.
The idea is that my members can then block messages (if required) from other members. I'm sure there is a better way than adding 1,2,3 etc.

...any help would be really appreciated (i'm having one of those days!).

My way is far too long winded! 🙂 lol

Example:

//// username to block ////
$blocked1 = "username";
$blocked2 = "username";

if ($sender == $blocked1) {echo "message blocked from $sender<br><hr>";}
else if ($sender == $blocked2) {echo "message blocked from $sender<br><hr>";}

You can see what im getting at, but what's the short version? 🙂 lol

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Create a table:
blocked
user_blocking | User_Blocked

Wheer you store the ID of the user that is doing the blocking, and the ID of the blocked user.

Then you can 'select * from blocked where user_blocking = $thisuser'
and create an array with all the blocked user_id's.

Use in_array() to test wether a user is blocked.
