Requesting member area for php script

[Sn3s]

hello there

i want to add a member area in my songs script , it`s written by php.

simply when any one try to download any songs it will check if the user is a member in my forums or just a visitor.

if he is a member it will countinue , else it will call the register page of my forums.

please dont ignore me

and sorry for my bad english

just put the following somewhere in teh beginning of your script:
require_once('./global.php');

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0)
{
echo "Sorry you are not a member";
die;
}

If you are not running your script from the forumhome directory, you will have to add a chdir before calling the global.php.

is there any way to do it without using chdir ?

If you are not in the forumhome directory you MUST chdir there before you call global. You could save the current dir and change it back after.
