I need a double if statement in php with different variables - php

Question

I've tried this so far:
$query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id";
$stmt = $connectionPDO->prepare($query);
$stmt->bindParam(':id', $id);
$stmt->execute();
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$type = $row['rights'];
if(check_login_status() == false)
{
header("Location:error.php");
exit;
}
If the entry in the column "rights" for the specific user is "user" and if there is no one logged in then it must redirect to error.php. So far this doesn't work. It still shows the page if i'm logged in with a user account. Hopefully I'm specific enough.

Answer 1

You need an extra piece of information in the header() function and also to add a exit; after the header() otherwise execution will just continue within this code fragment.
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$type = $row['rights'];
if(check_login_status() == false && $type == "user")
{
header("Location: error.php");
exit;
}
Of course the proper execution of the if statement depends on things you have not specified like does check_login_status() actually return false and have you checked that $type actually is "user".
Try this as a test :
$row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$type = $row['rights'];
// just testing
$type = "user";
if(check_login_status() == false && $type == "user")
{
header("Location: error.php");
exit;
}

Answer 2

You have a wrong syntax:
header("Location:error.php");
