UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? How do I disable the PM feature by group?

Corrected use of strstr and simplified parentheses:

if ((strstr($user['U_Groups'],'/-3-/') || strstr($user['U_Groups'],'/-5-/')) && $user['U_Status'] != 'Administrator' && $user['U_Status'] != 'Moderator') {

Alternate way:

$in_3 = strstr($user['U_Groups'],'/-3-/');
$in_5 = strstr($user['U_Groups'],'/-5-/');
$is_mod = $user['U_Status'] == 'Moderator';
$is_admin = $user['U_Status'] == 'Administrator';

if (($in_3 or $in_5) and !$is_admin and !$is_mod) {
