Handling Errors 1

[GOSCO]

Im using the uflex class to handle users on an intranet im making. I want to handle users that are not logged in, which means:

$user->data['group_id'] is not set

is it appropriate to use the following code or is there a better way?

if (isset($user->data['group_id']) && $user->data['group_id'] == 0) {

{

for ease of coding i'd do it the other way around.

if (    !isset($user->data['group_id'])     //if the group id is not set
        || $user->data['group_id'] != 0     // OR if the group ID is set AND is not zero
  ):

   // redirect to some unauthorized page or login page etc
   die();  //expressly kill further execution
endif;

//carry on with normal page execution

you might consider encapsulating the above in a function called isLoggedIn() or similar. then it will make calling it rather simpler. of course if you use the despatch method of coding, that's not so relevant.
