It depends how u like to differentiate users. Most simple method is to have registered users and visitors. In such cases u can use login system so that reg. user can view some page which visitor can't.

if you can provide us little more detail it will be easier for us to explain or help.

i have the membership system setup.

i would like to control who has access to their profiles, thus allowing them the user to mark their profile as public, private etc...

ok sorry t bother you but i've found the solution.

I need to query the database and check if the flag is set then if not show else send message etc...

i was wondering if php had a built in module or function to handle alot of the server side functions.

but anywho!

thanks again
