ok im using a database to store things for inside an array

here is my code:

PHP Code:

    if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array($setting['whocanview_journals'])))
    { 


in the database it is 6,2. it only works if its just one number. anyone know why it isnt. note that if it passes to false it prints permission error. can someone please help?

You probably need to use the explode function (http://uk.php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php):

PHP Code:

$whocanview = $setting['whocanview_journals'];
if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $whocanview)))

what would that do? it would just put the 6 and 2 together wouldnt it?

[assassingod]

It'll take the , from the DB entry and make it work in that in_array.

k

still not working

PHP Code:

    $wcv= explode(',', $setting[whocanview_journals]);
    if(in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], array($wcv)))
    { 


[assassingod]

Just use:

PHP Code:

    $wcv = $setting['whocanview_journals'];
    if (in_array($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',', $wcv)))
    {

This way by steve will work.

but to learn different ways doesn't hurt

you can use this way as well:

PHP Code:

eval("\$isingroup = in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array($setting[whocanview_journals]));");
if ($isingroup)
{....
