Im having an issue with my sql statement. I need to be able to identify a user after he logs in based on a database system. Im trying to create an if statement that if it returns true then the user level will become 1 and if it returns false the the user level becomes 2. So department head is in the second table, and IF employee.supervisor_id equals the department.department_head it should be true. But if its false then it will return the 0. However i cant think of a logical way that I can fit the $username variable that the user inputs into the if statement. Here is the code:
[php]<?php
if($dbConn->query(“SELECT department.department_head,employee.supervisor_id, employee.employee_id,
FROM employee
INNER JOIN department ON ‘employee.supervisor_id’ = department.department_head
WHERE department.department_head = $username;”)== “TRUE”) {
session_start();
$_SESSION[‘level’]=“1”;
} else {
session_start();
$_SESSION[‘level’]=“0”;
}
}
}[/php]
Im not entirely sure if it is correct syntax but I cant find many ways to create an if statement in that shape. thanks in advance.
