Well, we are talking about very trivial routine programming here,
which has a million different solutions. Here is another one:
% cat userlvls.txt
user1;0
user2;0
user3;0
admin1;1
admin2;1
%
function get_user_lvl($user_name) {
$userLevel = LVL_ORDINARY_USER;
if (($fp = fopen("userlvl.txt", "r"))) {
bNotFound = true;
while (feof($fp)) && bNotFound) {
$userdata = explode(";", fgets($fp));
if ($userdata[0] == $username) {
bNotFound = flase;
$userLevel = $userdata[1];
}
}
}
return $userLevel;
}
(Above function written straight in this e-mail without
testing so it probably full of errors, but the main idea
is still holding true...)
Then I leave it as an exercise for the reader to find
out how to maintain the user level file userlvl.txt....
