... just to save you from all that ridiculous index() nonsense.

I use index because it's case-insensitive and therefore better for player input. You can use in if you want but it would have to be

PHP Code:

function isStaff(account) {
  return account in serveroptions.staff.tokenize(",");
}

Try:

PHP Code:

temp.acc = "salesman";
echo(temp.acc in (serveroptions.staff));
echo((serveroptions.staff).size()); 


[salesman]

Still zero for both.

Well I did notice it won't create an array if there are any spaces/improper formatting. You have to enclose anything like that(say, a staff member with spaces in their account) in quotes for it to work right.

Strangely, this stuff works for me now. I had to use tokenize() in the past, but I just tried simple array operations, and they work. Strange

None of the items in the "list" here on Atlantis ever had spaces, and it didn't work just a while ago. Now it does. We also had a server restart recently, maybe something was changed in the way how this thing works.

If anything, this looks best.
