in_array problems

[VodkaFish]

I was using this to set permissions on a php page:

if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(1, 3, 4, 8))) {
print_no_permission();
}

However, now that I've upgraded to php 5 (and vb 3.6), it's simply blocking everyone, not just those usergroups. I don't really see any difference for in_array (http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php) between php 4 and 5, did something change in vb?

I think it should be:


if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 3, 4, 8))

Thanks for the response. I gave that a shot earlier and it's weird, everyone is still being blocked.

If I do:
echo is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(1, 3, 4, 8));I get nothing.
echo $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'];I get my correct usergroupid.
echo is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1, 3, 4, 8);I get nothing again.

is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1,3,4,8);

Unfortunately that produces the same result.

What's code did you use?

What's code did you use?
I tried both:
if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(1, 3, 4, 8))) {
print_no_permission();
} and
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1,3,4,8)) {
print_no_permission();
}

Use this and post the full results back here;


print_r($vbulletin->userinfo);
if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1,3,4,8))
{
echo "No Permission <br />";
}
exit;

I've removed alot of the unnecessary stuff from your post

You are a member of usergroup 6 and didn't get "No Permission" echoed out, so it seems to be working to me.

[VodkaFish]

Thanks for the cleanup.

I truly don't understand it - as I mentioned above, echo $vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid']; writes my correct usergroup (6), but yet I'm still getting blocked. It must be something else in my template, I'll comb it again.

[Paul M]

Please explain what you mean by "getting blocked"

[VodkaFish]

All users get the no permission message, including myself.

[Paul M]

Then you need to post all the code, not just that little section.

I found where it was, I used a variable called $fin and set it before I did require_once("./global.php");
Afterwards, it was getting wiped out, which also would give a no permission error.

So I changed my $fin to $fin_no_likey_vb (well, something different is the point) and all is good now.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Cool. :)
