[RESOLVED] basic array help

jasondavis

I have some admin sections on my site which allow me to use them based on my user ID, I plan on allowing a select few others to these features as well and Im thinking an array will be the best method

here is what I use now

<? if($info['auto_id']==1) {?>

admin code here

<? }  ?>

how could I use something like this

$moderators = array('1','3456','345','575676');

in that code above

Easy. Use in_array()...

if (in_array("$info['auto_id']", $moderators)) {
echo = 'Is a moderator';
}

so this should echo is a moderator for any auto_id listed in the $moderators array?

Also is this good for performance or is there something faster?

ok got it now thanks

if (in_array($info['auto_id'], $moderators)) {
echo = 'Is a moderator';
}

Glad to help. I could have just provided the code snippet, but as a former teacher I know the value in pointing somebody in the right direction so they can figure it out on their own. Nice work!
