note 27000 added to function.strcspn

this is an awesome function if you want to test letter-based modes or roles, i.e.: function check_access($required_roles,$user_roles) { if(strcspn($required_roles,$user_roles) == strlen($required_roles)) { print "no access. do your lockout routine here or die()."; } else { print "access granted."; } } so say you have roles for u = user, a = admin, s = superadmin, and you want to make sure the user is an admin OR superadmin, and the user is only "u" - it will return false: checkaccess("as",$user_roles) but if they have "a" it will be true.. i'm sure you could use the strspn() function to make sure the ANDs work, but i only used ORs in my situation. almost kinda like doing bitwise on the alphabet. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strcspn.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+27000 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+27000 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+27000
