online php block - remove admins from listing

[latino]

Hi:

I get online user data with this php code:

///CHAT BLOCK///
define("_CHAT_USERLIST","Personas en el video-chat: ");
define("_CHAT_NONE_USER","Nadie");
define("_CHAT_THEREARE","Hay...");
define("_CHAT_CONNECTIONS","personas conectadas al chat server");
define("_CHAT_ROOMS","Salas");
define("_CHAT_LOGON_USERS","Logeados");

$chat_data_path="/usr/local/123flashchat/data/default/";

$content = "";
$userListStr = "";
$room_id = "";

$room = array();

$online_file = $chat_data_path."online.txt";

if (!file_exists($online_file))
{
  echo "Can't find $online_file";
  
}
else if (!$trow = file($online_file))
{
  echo "Read $online_file error";
  
}
else
{
  $room_data = explode("|", $trow[0]);
  
  
  if (count($room_data) == 3)
  {
   $room['connections'] =  intval($room_data[0]);
   $room['logon_users'] =  intval($room_data[1]);
   $room['room_numbers'] =  intval($room_data[2]);
  }
  
  $d = dir($chat_data_path);
  
  while (false !== ($entry = $d->read())) 
  {
   $rest = substr($entry, 0, 5);
   if ($rest == "room_")
   {
   
   if (file_exists($chat_data_path.$entry))
   {
     
     $f_users = file($chat_data_path.$entry);
     
     for ($i = 0; $i < count($f_users); $i ++)
     {
      $f_line = trim($f_users[$i]);
      
      if ($f_line != "")
      {
        $userListStr = ($userListStr == "") ? $f_line : $userListStr. ", " . $f_line;
      }
     }
     
   }    
   }
  
  }
  $d->close();
  
  $userListStr = ($userListStr == "") ? _CHAT_NONE_USER : $userListStr;

}

$c_connections = $room['connections'];
$c_rooms = $room['room_numbers'];
$c_logon_users = $room['logon_users'];  
   
$content .= _CHAT_THEREARE . " <b>" . $c_connections . "</b> "._CHAT_CONNECTIONS;
$content .= "<br><br>". _CHAT_THEREARE . " <b>" . $c_rooms. "</b> ". _CHAT_ROOMS;
$content .= "<br><br>". _CHAT_THEREARE . " <b>" . $c_logon_users . "</b> "._CHAT_LOGON_USERS;
$content .= "<br><br>". _CHAT_USERLIST . " <b>" . $userListStr . "</b>";
$chateoactivo = $content;

Soo.. data file for a room for example room_1007.txt displays connected users:

bill
david
julie
jose
maria
TheCat

My question is how I can specify some names to be excluded from getting listed. For example if maria and TheCat are chat moderators, I dont want to show them as connected... Maybe a while $f_user != bla bla bla could work but I need the code!!! that will do the trick!

I hope what I want in understood. I use Linux, PHP 5.2.5 and Apache 2.

TIA

You could define an array in php and put the names that you want to be excluded from showing in it.
Then just make a judgement at
$userListStr = ($userListStr == "") ? _CHAT_NONE_USER : $userListStr;
when you generate userlist here.
