Good day to you all,
stupid as it sound, all the thing that I have tried to match a variable into a text file and execute according to it result.

PHP Code:


			

$active = "user_list.txt";
$pos = strpos($active, $_SESSION['username']);
if ($pos === false) {
echo "<b id=\"userinfo\"><img src=\"enligne.png\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"13px\"/></b>";
} else {
echo "<b id=\"userinfo\"><img src=\"horsligne.png\" valign=\"bottom\" width=\"13px\"/></b>";
}

Thanks !

strpos will only act on strings, so your code is effectively looking for the username in the string user_list.txt and not in the contents of the file! You'll need to get the contents of the file (perhaps with the file_get_contents function) and then look for the username in those contents.
