Hi, All

I would like my user to click on My Account link, with the help of some PHP magic i would like to determine which access level a user has and direct them accordingly to the right my account page.

In total I have 3 types of users outlined below.

I have an Enum set for the user type in the database 0 = normal user and 1 gold user and 2 = admin.

Normal user and gold user has different my account, in each my account there are different option.

I have stored the account type in a session and also in a cookies but not exactly sure how I can direct a user to the right My Account page.

My attempt:

session_start();

if (!$_SESSION['uid']) { 
$msgToUser = '<br /><br /><font color="#FF0000">Logged in users can only view this</font>
<p><a href="register.php">Join Here</a></p>
<p><a href="login.php">login</a></p>';

include_once 'msgToUser.php'; 
  exit(); 
}else if ($_SESSION['type']='1')  {
	header("location: goldaccount.php?id=$uid"); 
}else if ($_SESSION['type']= '0')  {
	header("location: myacount.php"); 
}
?>

Hope I have explained it properly
Thanks in advance

line 11 and line 13: you are doing comparison so there should be double equal operators.

else if ($_SESSION['type']== 1){ //single = means you are assigning

Apart from that the code looks ok.

Hope this helps.

The pages seem to be navigating to the right pages however the page does not appear i get
:Oops! This link appears to be broken.

without the above script active the page seems to load fine

Is this the entire code? If not, you need to define $uid.

header("location: goldaccount.php?id=$uid"); //$uid is uid stored in session I suppose...

Also, I wonder if the other pages are in the same directory as this page. If so, do you get an oopsy for 'myacount.php'?
