[RESOLVED] Gah...this is stupid

MFKR

Alright so I'm trying to make a modular-type script that checks a few things

check to see if module exists
check to see if variable $mod has a name
the user has access

The code keeps skipping down to the last if...else saying that I don't have access, when the access check is correct. So I don't know what is up

<?php
include "classes.php";

$access = new AccessLevel();

$dir = "/modules/$mod/index.php";

if ( $mod = "" || !file_exists($dir) )
{
          echo "Module does not exist";
}
else if ( file_exists($dir) && access->Check(0, 0) )
{
          include "$dir";
}
else
{
          echo "You do not have access to this area.";
}

?>

^{^{^{^There}}} is the script. It is small and ghetto...but this thing is just starting.

perhaps $mod = "" should be $mod == "" ?

FatalError

Post the code in the file that initializes $mod. I don't see a problem on this file, so it's probably something with that.

EDIT: Ah, laserlight, didn't see that...probably because I have done that myself countless times. XD Good thing I've gotten out of that habit.

I fixed that problem now it immediately goes to the first if statement..."Module does not exist" so I'm still confused... for the $mod it works like this www.blah.com/module.php?mod=News&id=1 (or something like that) it would then load the news file that is in its own directory into the page.

here is the updated code...

<?php
include "classes.php";

$access = new AccessLevel();

$dir = "/modules/$mod/index.php";

if ( $mod == NULL || !file_exists($dir) )
{
          echo "Module does not exist";
}
else if ( file_exists($dir) && $access->Check(0, 0) )
{
          include "$dir";
}
else
{
          echo "You do not have access to this area.";
}

?>

pppppp

it should be include $dir (without quotes)

Where do you define $mod? You need to use the $GET[] array. eg;

$dir = "/modules/{$_GET['mod']}/index.php";

actually the error was the first / in the $dir...heheh weird! Thanks for the help peoples
