function

[tr8er8]

hi i have a function that takes a value from a row, and converts the number to text. except im having trouble getting it to work so i came here to see if anyone can see what im doing wrong:

function userLvl($value) {
if(!$_SESSION['logged_in'])
{
$access = FALSE;
}else {
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE userid = '$value'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($query);
$value = $row['accessLvl'];
$userLvl = array(
"0" => "User", 
"1" => "Power User", 
"2" => "Moderator", 
"3" => "Admin"
);
$userLvl = array_values($userLvl);
return $userLvl[$value];
}
if($access==FALSE)
{
global $loginUrl;
header("Location: $loginUrl");
}
}

then i do:

echo userLvl('1');

to display it

Dear tr8er8,

I didnt found any error on your function. please check database connectivity and post the error which you got.

also check all the values of column accessLvl in users table >=0 and <=3
Thanks

Oops! i found the problem, in the query i needed to filter where accessLvl = '$value' not userid = '$value' :D
