Question about Protect page with session

[drama22]

hello guys , iam trying to protect some pages on my script, i want control on session who can show this page i make somthing but after i check i see that's works with 1 name only i want make it allow to many name here is example to be more clear

$pro = $user_data['username'];
if ($pro != "drama", "another name", "another one") {
	die ('You are not allowed to use this page');
}

if i make only one name it works normal but if i make to many names i get page error any thing to fix this ?

I would put the accepted names in an array and see if $pro is in that array. Like this:

$pro = "drama";
$accepted = array(
'First'=> 'drama',
'Second' => 'another name',
'Third' => 'another one'
);
if (in_array($pro, $accepted) === false) {
        die ('You are not allowed to use this page');
}

You can also inline it like this

if (in_array($pro, array("drama", "another name", "another one")) == false){
    // redirect ?
}

I use that all the time

That is a much nicer way of doing it
