[RESOLVED] Check noob code and help with a bug?

Hi all,
I've just switch from the NT/access/.asp world to Linux/mysql/adminmyphp/.php world and its all new to me. So sorry if questions are vague or ignorant.

Trying to create a page only viewable for logged in users with level 9 access to view and all others would be directed to an "access denied page" so I tried this...

<?PHP
include("include/session.php");
?>
<?
if($session->userlevel == ">9"){
$URL="../denied.php";
header ("Location: $URL");
exit;}
else{
}
?>

That seems to work fine if someone who is not logged in visits the page and for someone with a user level 9 but if someone with a user of say 3 logs in then visits the page they are not redirected.

Have I completely slaughtered the code, just missing something, or maybe a better way?

TIA for any help,

Steve

Shouldn't your code look like this?

if($session->userlevel < 9){ 
    $URL="../denied.php"; 
    header ("Location: $URL"); 
    exit;
} else { 
    /* ..... */
}

🙂 Thank You!
Works like a charm now. I got close to that before and went the wrong way with it. Sometimes the more I try to fix it the worse it gets.

Thanks again for your help!
