Comparing Friend UserID

[Infinity101]

Hello, I am in the process of writing a script which highlights buddy posts. I'm having trouble however passing a condition to only highlight the buddies and not everyone.

I have tried several conditionals, all either ending in showing no posts, or all posts. Below are variations of code I have used.

In myphp file:

When pulling information (used from misc.php):

PHP Code:

    $postbuddies = $db->query_read_slave("
            SELECT
            user.username, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, user.userid, session.lastactivity
            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userlist AS userlist
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user AS user ON(user.userid = userlist.relationid)
            LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "session AS session ON(session.userid = user.userid)
            WHERE userlist.userid = {$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']} AND userlist.relationid = user.userid AND type = 'buddy'
            ORDER BY username ASC, session.lastactivity DESC
        "); 


When Comparing

PHP Code:

if(in_array(postbuddies['userid'], array(memberpost['userid'])){} 


Pulling in separate instance (the above would be removed):

PHP Code:

postbuddies = explode(' ', $buddies); 


and in template:

<vb:if condition="is_array($memberpost[userid], array($postbuddies))"></vb:if>

I have tried several other variations similar to the above. I have ran a loops to make sure I was gathering the buddy userid which was successful. The problem seems to be when comparing with a poster's userid.

I hope my post makes sense, it's very late night for me and at this point I feel like my mind is going bonkers. Than you kindly for any help.
