Folk,
I'm curious if anyone has any advice on setting up multi-level password access?
The site is being developed on Win2K/IIS 5.x, but will be published on a Linux
server, which phpinfo() reports as:
Linux {domain name} 2.4.20-28.8HEsmp #1 SMP Thu Jun 17 16:21:50 BST 2004 i686.
I would highly recommend that you test on at least one "Linux" server
with your code before you publish it. Most of the time in PHP you get
exactly what you expect from one OS to the next, but there are a few
cases where some features just don't work the same.
What I'm wondering about is what approach would allow reasonable security, but
require the least amount of adjustment between the two disparate servers?
The general scenario is as follows.
*Five levels of membership, 0-4;
*member ID, password (MD5 hash), & access level stored in MySQL v3.23.x;
*script validates member password, looks up access level.
Probably the access level - not the password - would be stored in a Session
variable and checked by each succeeding script for appropriate authorization.
Agreed... storing the access level is a sane way to do this. Storing
the password in plain text *anywhere* is not a good idea.
As an example, for levels 0-x, 0 would disallow chat, 1 would allow joining a
public chat, 2 would allow creation of a public chat room, 3 would allow
joining a private chat, 4 would allow creation of a private chat room.
Since the access level is determined by the member ID and password, what's the
least effort method to set up password access(es)? I.E., what password
validation method would allow for the least amount of script modification
between the two platforms?
The way you are doing it sounds fine to me.

Thanks all
Yes I have been slowly working through the manual, which has helped alot.
I'm not sure on the issue raised, which is better A or B
(A) <?php echo "<html><body>.......</body></html> ?>
or
(B) <html><body><?php .... ?> xxxxx <?php .... ?> xxxx </body></html>
Thanks in advance
Barry

This falls into the "religious" area of programming. There's a good
discussion about templates going on over in php-general newsgroup right
now. You can check the archives if you're interested in reading through
it all.
(A) <?php echo "<html><body>.......</body></html> ?>
or
(B) <html><body><?php .... ?> xxxxx <?php .... ?> xxxx </body></html>
They both work so really it's a matter of what looks best to you / the
code maintainer.

Barry,
Either will work, but I would guess that one will work quicker than the other.
I depends a little on how how much you are doing between the php tags. I will
add this comment:
When the web server goes from html to php, it changes context to call the
script engine. This change takes time. If your server is not heavily loaded,
the amount of time may not be significant. "A" might provide better performance
as it switches context only once. "B" might be easier to maintain as it will
'look' more like html to the programmer.

phpize is a linux/unix tool and it can't be used on win32 systems.
The Image Magick extension comes precompiled on win32. You only need to
install and enable the extension. This can be done by adding
extension=php_imagick.dll to you php.ini file.

Hello,
I believe my problem is that I have to use the print funtion inside a
variable, and I have no clue how to do that. For example, I need to get
this:
if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"])) {
if (count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]) > 0) {
for($i = 0;$i < count($rss_channel["ITEMS"]);$i++) {
if (isset($rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"])) {
print ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\"><a href=\"" .
$rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["LINK"] . "\">" .
$rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"] . "</a></div>");
} else {
print ("\n<div class=\"itemtitle\">" . $rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["TITLE"]
. "</div>");
}
print ("<div class=\"itemdescription\">" .
$rss_channel["ITEMS"][$i]["DESCRIPTION"] . "</div><br />"); }
} else {
print ("<b>There are no articles in this feed.</b>");
}
}
Into variable "$message="
Any help would be appriciated MUCH!
Thank you!
