how is this simply done ?

[Vinney]

this is what i've got so far ... it works.

<?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]";
getvbpvars();
include("header.php");
//OpenTable();
if (!$bbuserinfo[userid] || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==1 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==3 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]==11) {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact_error')."\ ");");
} else {
eval("dooutput(\"".gettemplate('contact')."\");");
}
//CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
?>

whats the difference between what i have done and what your saying ?

does yours mean :

if userid equals 2, get error template ... or does yours mean, if userid equals 2, continue ?
