Level/Group label system? - php

Question

I am working on a login system and have a basic admin/level system implemented in to it. Right now the levels are just numbers (1-9). I do however have them labeled as different names or groups. For example, 1=member, 2=Supporter and so on. I also have a member list that displays the user id, level, and time of last activity. However it only shows the number for the id (as to be expected). My question is how would I set it up so the numbers end up displaying the name/group on the member list?
Thanks in Advanced, Josh
Here is the code for the table:
<?php
include("include/session.php");
function displayUsers(){
global $database;
$q = "SELECT username,userlevel,email,timestamp "
."FROM ".TBL_USERS." ORDER BY userlevel DESC,username";
$result = $database->query($q);
/* Error occurred, return given name by default */
$num_rows = mysql_numrows($result);
if(!$result || ($num_rows < 0)){
echo "Error displaying info";
return;
}
if($num_rows == 0){
echo "Database table empty";
return;
}
/* Display table contents */
echo "<table align=\"left\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"3\">\n";
echo "<tr><td><b>Username</b></td><td><b>Level</b></td><td><b>Last Active</b></td></tr>\n";
for($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++){
$uname = mysql_result($result,$i,"username");
$ulevel = mysql_result($result,$i,"userlevel");
$time = mysql_result($result,$i,"timestamp");
echo "<tr><td>$uname</td><td>$ulevel</td><td>$time</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "</table><br>\n";
}
?>
my "array":
<?php echo $form->error("upduser"); ?>
<table>
<form action="adminprocess.php" method="POST">
<tr><td>
Username:<br>
<input type="text" name="upduser" maxlength="30" value="<?php echo $form->value("upduser"); ?>">
</td>
<td>
Level:<br>
<select name="updlevel">
<option value="1">Member
<option value="2">Supporter
<option value="3">Donor
<option value="4">VIP
<option value="5">Veteran
<option value="7">Co-Founder
<option value="8">Founder
<option value="9">Admin
</select>
</td>
I just need help setting up an array with the code

Answer 1

You should add a table in your database with the info for the levels (id and name) then use a join in your query to get the name with the user details.
The other solution, which in my opinion is less advisable, would be to hard-code your array and display the corresponding level name:
function displayUsers(){
$levels = array('1'=>'Member','2'=>'Supporter','3'=>...);
//do_query
//loop results
$ulevel = $levels[mysql_result($result,$i,"userlevel")];
//continue loop
}
