FWIW I put this code in a plugin on both hooks and it worked in both places, both with and without 16 in the list of groups in data2.txt.

PHP Code:

$sbmemgroups2 = file_get_contents('data2.txt'); 
     
$sbusergroups = explode(",", $sbmemgroups2); 

foreach($sbusergroups as $sbgroup) 
    { 
        $sbgroupint = intval($sbgroup); 

if ($sbgroupint == 16) 
        { 
            $sbpaid = true; 
        } 
}

$fp = fopen('output.txt', "w");
fwrite($fp, "sbpaid = $sbpaid");
fclose($fp);
