Auth and user permission levels

I'd like to use Auth for allowing access to different sections website (not porn) such as: Paid Members only Free Registration only Free access (no auth required) and then Admin levels for all of these in my content manager app. Structure something like this TABLE users user_id | username | password | bla TABLE groups group_id | group_name TABLE user_groups user_id | group_id | is_confirmed I'm thinking of using setAuthData to store array of "group" id's that user can access. SELECT * FROM user_groups WHERE user_id = $user_id AND is_confirmed=1 Then make array of these groups to store with setAuthData. Then after I check for authentication do another check to see that group they have valid access to the group. if (in_array('2',$data)) { /* group 2 user only content goes here */ } Thanks much, olinux __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
