How do you determine the access level? Through a session variable.

You could try the other way and if that works for you that's great!

Great. but i have new question:

How do i populate a text input field with a word based on user access level.

exp. if im user football_player and my access level is leader i want a text

input filed on form page to say Dallas.

Can you help me?


Create session variable for everything you want filtered then use an if statement to show results from recordset.

if ($user == "football_player" && $access_level == "coach") {

   <?php echo $recordset_value['dynamic_text']; ?>
}

Set access level by using a session variable. Look here for info on how to create a session variable. Then use an if statement to direct to access page based on session variable. By default DW creates a session variable MM_Username you can create a filtered recordset from this session variable to create additional session variables for other database table fields for logged in user.

Does that help?
