logged_in_group_id Resulting In PHP String Instead of Integer

Make sure you do comparisons with “==” not “=”.

Edit: Nevermind, I totally misread what you were trying to ask. You could try just using typecasting with (int). Maybe that will work for you.

I tried the three variants:

$x = intval(”{logged_in_group_id}”);

$s = ”{logged_in_group_id}”; $x = (int)$s;

$x = ”{logged_in_group_id}”; settype($x, “integer”);

None of these work.

I have found, however, that they DO work if I replace {logged_in_group_id} with a normal integer… For instance – this works.

$x = intval(”1”);

I think this may be an expression engine thing?

Mixing PHP and EE tags can be complicated. Why not simply use the full session class?

I’m not too familiar with the session class. This doesn’t seem to be working.

<?php

$aRestrictedID = array();
$currentGroupID = $this->EE->session->userdata('group_id');

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="page"}
$aRestrictedID[]= 1;
{restrict_page}$aRestrictedID[]= {restrict_to_id};{/restrict_page}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

if ( in_array ( $currentGroupID , $aRestrictedID ) ) {

?>

test

<?php
}
?>

Ah, you’re on EE 1. try this instead.

Fantastic! Worked great. Thanks 😊

My pleasure! =)
