user roles and permissions php code example

Example 1: php permission system

// check if a user has a specific role
public function hasRole($role_name) {
    return isset($this->roles[$role_name]);
}

// insert a new role permission association
public static function insertPerm($role_id, $perm_id) {
    $sql = "INSERT INTO role_perm (role_id, perm_id) VALUES (:role_id, :perm_id)";
    $sth = $GLOBALS["DB"]->prepare($sql);
    return $sth->execute(array(":role_id" => $role_id, ":perm_id" => $perm_id));
}

// delete ALL role permissions
public static function deletePerms() {
    $sql = "TRUNCATE role_perm";
    $sth = $GLOBALS["DB"]->prepare($sql);
    return $sth->execute();
}

Example 2: php permission system

CREATE TABLE roles (
  role_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  role_name VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY (role_id)
);

CREATE TABLE permissions (
  perm_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  perm_desc VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY (perm_id)
);

CREATE TABLE role_perm (
  role_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  perm_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,

  FOREIGN KEY (role_id) REFERENCES roles(role_id),
  FOREIGN KEY (perm_id) REFERENCES permissions(perm_id)
);

CREATE TABLE user_role (
  user_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  role_id INTEGER UNSIGNED NOT NULL,

  FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(user_id),
  FOREIGN KEY (role_id) REFERENCES roles(role_id)
);
