I'm trying to create a cms which has different user groups. Say admin and registered What i want to do here is that i want only the admin to have the access to admin folder and others whether they are usual users or any other i want to restrict the access to admin folder
// Here is what i have in my db
tabalename.groups (id,name) values (1, 'registered),(2,'admin')
I am assigning these group names by giving the user a group_id but i know it does not have anything to do with the access
So How do i do that in php ??
Your help is appreciated :)
This is one way your table could look like with an extra column status to denote the accessibility level of the user.
------------------------------
id | username | status
1 | emkay992 | admin
2 | ayeshacutie | registered
------------------------------
And When logging in, compare the values from that column status in database and redirect through header(); as appropriate.
