Blocking a user(with session) from certain scripts

[invision2]

Hi,

I have about 10 scripts on my site and want to restrict access for 1 user to just 2 scripts.
When this particular user logs in, they are assigned the number '2' to their SESSION['user_category'] variable.

Every script has an include file included(include('../header.php') which verifies what user category they are in...something like....

if ($_SESSION['user_category'] == '1') {
// gives them access to everything
} elseif ($_SESSION['user_category'] == '2') {
// just access to 2 scripts
} 

I'm wondering if there's an easy way to group these scripts(an array?) and then say which ones only category2 can access etc. Basically so if they try to visit a script which they don't have access to, they're redirected.

Does this make sense?

I'm sure it's just a case of using an array, determining the current page and taking action with the if statement.



Many thanks for any advice on this.
