best way to moderate user

[nclemale36]

i have put this code in "user" action in tools so that staff cant piss aound with other staffs profiles
but it still shows the links for everything after it has displayed You can not moderate $user.

what am i missing here . . even tried exit(); but then it wotn let me moderate any user at all .

 
if($uid=543)
{ 
  echo "<b><img src=\"../phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../images/notok.gif\" alt=\"x\"/><br/>Error!!!<br/>Permission Denied...</b><br/>";
  echo "<br/>You can not moderate $user<br/>";
  echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=main&amp;sid=$sid\"><img src=\"../phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../images/home.gif\" alt=\"\"/>Home</a>";
  echo "</p>";
  
  }

Duh

// Correct
if($uid == 543)
// Wrong
if($uid = 543) 

also by the way, noted u use phpthumb for icons, thats a waste of resources.

that aint solved my problem tho lol

uid is normally related to your own user id number rather than someone elses ..... so is $uid defined to anything? ..... maybe if($who==543) ?
really depends on what value your setting to the variable $uid

so i presume i should use $who and if so then how do i make it so i cant moderate certain ppl. ie other staff

[something else]

if its lava i think its

if(ismod($who)){
echo "<b><img src=\"../phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../images/notok.gif\" alt=\"x\"/><br/>Error!!!<br/>Permission Denied...</b><br/>";
  echo "<br/>You can not moderate $user<br/>";
  echo "<a href=\"index.php?action=main&amp;sid=$sid\"><img src=\"../phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=../images/home.gif\" alt=\"\"/>Home</a>";
  echo "</p>";
  
  }else{
//do mod stuff here
}

that works mate but how can i detool ppl without having to go into database lol . as i wont be able to moderate any staff at all .

[something else]

use:
if(ismod($who)&&$uid!=1){

(change 1 to your user id number)

hi mate cheers for your help . havnt been able to get back on here with server probs .dont even know how i managed to post that reply lol .anyway.
i havnt tried that yet but will the owner of that id number be able to moderate themselves. as the code before stops all moderation of staff meaning that mods / admin etc etc cant use the tools in there profile .

[something else]

so they can staf can edit themselfs
if(ismod($who)&&$uid!=1&&$uid!=$who){

if the staff start to piss around with profiles then remove there tools.
