More than one variable in "if (!in_groups(x,x,x) {

For instance if I controlled access to a page in a module by using NSN groups by using the following. Can I add in more than one group number to check?

if (!in_groups(1, 10)) {

This doesn't seem to work for me.

It does work if I put in

if (!in_groups(10)) {

Would there be a better way to control access but still use the group concept?

Have you tried passing in a string (using your example) of "1-10"? Unfortunately I do not have the code handy on my laptop to check this out, but I could have sworn that this is how multiple groups is handled.

Give it a try.

P.S. In your example, you showed group 1 and group 10. If instead you wanted groups 2, 4, 6, and 10, your string would look like "2-4-6-10"

Yep...I think it was the "" and the - for the groups. I had a comma with no ""

Thanks

$groups = array("1", "2",......."10);
if (!in_groups($groups)) {

Bob,
Why, then, does the following work?

$groups = "1-3-4-5";
if (in_groups($groups)) {
... do code if user is assigned to any of these groups
}

I have it working in one of my modules and have tested different user-to-user group scenarios.... The appropriate code is being called based on the user/group assignments.

Maybe it is not working as I thought???? Doesn't the following line require the type of code I am using above???

Code:

   if(!is_array($gids)) { $gids = explode("-",$gids); }

[NEVER MIND: I see that the code works either way. It explodes it into an array if it was not passed in as an array. So, bottom line is that both ways will work.]
