I see, well I have a login that has multiple levels and here is how I
have it.
Obvious pertinent info has been changed, but you can adopt and add
your own.
a config file with userlevel values EG:
$parent = 2; //Parent Level
$student = 1; //Student Level
$guest = 0;//Guest level
A define.php file with things defined EG:
include or require the config.php in this file
define("PARENT", $parent);
define("STUDENT", $student);
Then work some functions to check the levels in your sessions php file.
That way every page thats pulled up, it checks the login status and
the userlevel.
EG:
include or require the define.php in the session php
//Inside the session php
function isParent(){
return ($this->userlvl == PARENT);
}
function isStudent(){
return ($this->userlvl == STUDENT);
}
$this->userlvl will be the level recorded after registration was
completed the first time.
You should be checking this and retrieving this at login. Basically
setting it as a session variable with it that gets carried through.
Eg usage:
if($this->isParent()) {
//do this
}

Hi Ashley,
I would have your database that is attached to this part of the
website,
verify with another database that stores all your student and
parent info for your school
and when they register, you can actually check against a database
of students that actually
attend the school and the parents of that student on your server
not through a login form.
I believe there is a way to set up a cron or something like that
where the check is made at
the server level and no one else can check that way.
I am not a professional at php, but I believe I read about this
capability somewhere.
If someone knows the actual term for this please, interject.
Also, I would probably ask how to do that on the PHP-Database list

Slightly OT, but I can't think of a better forum to ask this in.
I'm sure a
lot of us here have at some point or another built a system that
requires
registration to gain access. What I'm trying to figure is how to set
different levels of access.
We're building a large site for a school district, to be used by both
students and parents. When a student logs in, they gain some
access to the
site, and when a parent logs in, they gain access to other
sections on the
site. That's all fine and dandy, it's the actual registration
process that
I'm having a hard time with.
How to determine if a registration is a student or a parent. Do I
simply
give them a check box (or other method) to pick from (student or
parent) and
hope they're being honest? Has anyone here have to deal with that
in the
past, and would you be willing to give me some ideas of what you did?
Thanks!
