I added in some comments. Maybe it's clearer (?) The problem seems to be by the latter 'if' statement. Or I could be totally in the wrong direction. Magnus Lawrie if (isset($sess_usr[2])) // if true then get permissions { // R, W come in no particalur order $sql="SELECT rule FROM usr_tbl_ruls WHERE cftab_id=$fid AND usrgrp_id=$sess_usr[1]"; echo "$sql<br>"; $result=pg_exec($conn, $sql) or die ("failed to execute sql rules query"); $num = pg_numrows($result); for ($i=0; $i<$num; $i++) { $r = pg_fetch_row($result, $i); for ($j=0; $j<count($r); $j++) { echo "$r[$j]&nbsp;"; // prints "R"<br>"W" ****** // if ($r[$j]=R) {echo "true";} // always returns true if R is present // or not for ($k=0; $k<count($r); $k++) { echo "$r[$j][$k]&nbsp;"; // prints "R[0]"<br>"W[0]" ****** } // if ($r[$j][$k] = R) {echo "true";} // empty echo "<BR>"; } } } // echo "$r[$j][$k]<br>";
