Question

My column type is SMALLINT and name is user_level.
Here is the code I am using:

<?php
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "*********");
mysql_select_db("3591_other");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM rivase_f_users WHERE user_name = '$email' AND    user_pass=sha1('$passwd')");
if (!$result) {
    echo mysql_error();
}
//snip
else if (mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    $_SESSION['username']=$email;
    if ($row['user_level']==1) {$_SESSION['usertype']='leader';}
    header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}
?>

$row['user_level'] looks like to be null, but phpmyadmin says it is 1. I tried echoing it with commenting the header-location row, it did not say anything. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

try this,

else if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $_SESSION['username']=$email;
    if ($row['user_level']==1) {$_SESSION['usertype']='leader';}
    header("Location: index.php");
    die();
}
