I have two type of users in my site. Admins and Users.
Those are stored in the table user under the name of kind.
With this I can validate the login session:
<body>
<?php if(isset($_SESSION["user_id"])):?>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="sidebar" data-color="blue">
<div class="logo">
<a href="./" class="simple-text">
INDEX PAGE FOR BOTH ADMINS AND USERS
</a>
</div>
<div class="sidebar-wrapper">
<ul class="nav">

</body>
Using <?php echo Core::$user->name." ".Core::$user->lastname." ".Core::$user->kind; ?> I'm pulling from the database the user's First and Last Name, and with Core::$user->kind I'm pulling the user type. 1 is for Admins and 2 is for Users.
Now, I would like to restrict access to certain sections of the ticket system by user type.
I had this idea, at least for the menu:
<?php if(isset($_SESSION["user_id"])):?>
<?php if((<?php echo Core::$user->kind; ?>) == 1):?>
// insert full <div class="wrapper"> here
<?php else:?>
// insert modified <div class="wrapper"> here (limited functions for
// normal users
<?php endif;?>
<?php else:?>
<?php
View::load("login");
?>
<?php endif;?>
But... It won't work. How can I make it work?
