If somebody like to know , I did it another way:

PHP Code:

                // check forum permission            
                $parentlist=getforumarray($forumid);
                $forums=getforumlist($forumid,"forumid","OR",$parentlist);
                $getperms=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT *,INSTR(',$parentlist,', CONCAT(',', forumid, ',') ) AS ordercontrol FROM forumpermission WHERE usergroupid=$user[usergroupid] AND $forums ORDER BY ordercontrol LIMIT 1");
                
                if(($getperms[canview] == 0) AND (isset($getperms[canview]) == 1)) {
                   $getaccess=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM access WHERE userid=$userid AND forumid = $forumid");
                   if($DB_site->num_rows($getaccess) == 1) {
                    $error = false;
                   } else{
                       $error = true;       
                   }
                }else{
                   $error = false;  
                }// check permission
