Change Left side menu according to user type

[ghjk]

In my application there are 3 user types and after thy logging i want to display different link according to the user type. (Eg: I want to hide some links from the normal user that are accessible only for administrators. ) How can i do that?

Hi,
If you have the users access writes available, you could stick them all in embeded if statements, or using a switch.


I included a switch, it does need to be bult upon tho

<?php
$varAccess = 1;

switch ($varAccess)
{
case 1:
  echo "Link 1";
  echo "Link 2";
  echo "Link 3";
  echo "Link 4";
  break;
case 2:
  echo "Link 1";
  echo "Link 2";
  echo "Link 4";
  break;
case 3:
  echo "Link 1";
  break;
default:
  echo "Please Login";
}
?>

Since you do not show any code, I'll guess.
[php]
if ($user_authoriz ation == 9) { // admin
echo '<a hef="admin_menu .php">Link 1</a>';
}
elseif ($user_authoriz ation == 1) { // special user
echo '<a hef="special menu.php">Link 2</a>';
}
else {
echo '<a hef="normal_men u.php">Link 3</a>'; // normal user
}
[/php]
If you do not show the code, that's all I can show you.

Still confusing. May i need to use sessions?

[ronverdonk]

For what would you want to use sessions? To store user data? Since we still see no code, I am afraid that is all I can tell you.
