[help] PHP Errors

[coolchris322]

Ok, first error. this

session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['myusername'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `community` WHERE username='$username'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
... blah blah blah ...
            if($row['ban'] = "1")
                echo '<td><a href=\'?change=appealban\' target=\'_self\'>Appeal Ban</a></td>'; 

now, it echo's appeal ban even when ban = 0.

Second issue,

session_start();
$loggeduser = $_SESSION['myusername'];
include 'config.php';
$username = $_GET['name'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `community` WHERE username='$username'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
$query2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `community` WHERE username='$loggeduser'");
$row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query2);
... blah blah blah ...
if ($loggeduser = $row['habboname']) {
    echo "<a href='editprofile.php'>Edit Your Profile</a>";
}
if ($row2['rank'] = "Administrator") {
    echo "<a href='edituser.php?name=".urlencode(htmlspecialchars($row['username'], ENT_QUOTES))."'>Edit User</a>";
} 

This 1. shows edit profile when you logout and clear your cache, but only on your profile o.O
2. echo's Edit User even when your logged out, logged in with non-admin etc.

Any help please.

Anyone here to help

In some cases, u need to use "==" instead of "=" that will be your problems I suspend

Lew.

[Johno]

You use "=" in order to set (assign) a value to variables, "==" in order to compare both sides.

http://www.php.net/manual/en/languag...comparison.php

As Lewiie says, seems to be the only problem.

[Irrorate]

Just to reiterate the above, one = sign assigns a variable, two = signs compares a variable.

BTW, if you are using single quotes you don't need to escape your HTML:

session_start();
$username = $_SESSION['myusername'];
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `community` WHERE username='$username'");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($query);
... blah blah blah ...
            if($row['ban'] = "1")
                echo '<td><a href="?change=appealban" target="_self">Appeal Ban</a></td>';

I know == does that, but that broke too .

anyhow, i did a mysql dump file and checked against values and counts to fix it :/
