my example :

if (!$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==11) {

your example:

if($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 1 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 3 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 11) {

( can the above be done ? - why does mine have double '==' and yours dont. - can you explain this please )

BTW am restrcing it to groupid 1, 3 and 11 , anthing else gets the error.

ps. Does the rest of my script too correct ( btw is all does work - am just wondering if i have done anything funny or wondering if there is a 'better' way to get the same result.

Thanks g-force2k , you have been loads of help.

well the Vinney your code is correct... all mine stated was that if usergroupid isn't equal to two then show the error...

the difference btw the codes is that:

== <-- means is equal to

!= <-- means is not equal to

btw your code looks fine :)

ok am trying to get too big for my boots here, i cant seem to get this to work:

know why ?

<?php
error_reporting(7);
include ("../../mainfile.php");
$index = 1;
global $Pmenu,$breadcrumb;
$Pmenu="";
$breadcrumb="Account Activation";
$defaultmessage = "Your message here... \n\n - $bbuserinfo[username]";
$defaultemail = "$bbuserinfo[email]";
$unwantedgroups = array('1', '6', '11');
getvbpvars();
include("header.php");
//OpenTable();
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == $unwantedgroups) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact_error')."\ ");");
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact')."\");");
}
//CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
?>

am trying to use an array, to get the same result.

Vinny you'll probably have to explode the array... im not that great with arrays and exploding :P so i suggest just using the way you had had it :) regards...
