Subject: [PHP] Re: homemade authentication function
i think the problem isn't only your 'return false' but also your 'return
true' in your first loop through your foreach will definetly a 'return'
be
passed. and return means return a value AND stop the function. not?
try it this way:
foreach ($groups as $value)
{
if(!isset($this->user['groups'][$value]) ||
!$this->user['groups'][$value])
{
return false;
}
}
return true;
ciao SVEN
