first, allow me to thank all of you for your help in creating this website. now, i am trying to get one last bug worked out before going live. i have a subscription site that gives users a year access to training videos and an ask the trainer section. i have it all done except for the q & a page. i have read php tutorials and have the basics down, as far as using an sql database to store the comments and am having one small problem. i want anyone to be able to ask a question and only the trainer can answer. i have been looking at a lot of source code for a lot of sites, but i cannot figure out how to implement that only he has access to answer each question. i may have to create a page just for him when he logs in so that he gets the option to answer each question. using a script to have anyone leave comments is easy, i got tons of free scripts to use, but the answer thing is a real pain. thanx for any help.
