Question

I pulled usernames and passwords from database, and they match, I can pass the login page. But I want to restrict some access to users, and provide access to admins, i do this with field admin in database. admin is int, and can have values 1 and 0. This code always enters else barnch of this if ($result == '1').

It is truly annoying, can you provide some clues?

$sql="SELECT admin FROM $tbl_name WHERE username='$myusername' and password='$mypassword'";

$result=mysql_query($sql);


if(mysql_num_rows($result) == 1) {
     $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['username'];
     if ($result == '1'){
      echo "uspeh admine";
     }else{
      echo "uspeh korisnice";
     }

 }else{
    echo "neuspeh";
 }

$result is a the resource for the results. You need to use mysql_fetch_assoc() or similar.

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($row['admin'] == '1') {
  echo "uspeh admine";
} else { 
  echo "uspeh korisnice";
}
