Making a user admin

I made this because InSaNe seems to be having some trouble adding himself admin:

addadmin.php:

(NOTE BECAUSE INSANE ISN'T ADMIN ON HIS SITE USE THIS CODE IF YOU ARE NOT AN ADMIN):

Code
<?php
include("config.php");
switch ($page) {

default:
echo "<form action='?page=admin' method='post'>
Username: <input type='text' name='user'><BR>
<input type='submit' value='Submit'></form>";
break;

case 'admin':
$admin = $_POST['user'];

$update = mysql_query("ALTER `members` SET `userlevel` = '6' WHERE `username` = '$admin'");
echo "$admin is now a admin.";
break;
}
?>


(IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT PASSWORD PROTECTED):

Code
<?php
include("config.php");
if($logged[username]) {
switch ($page) {

default:
echo "<form action='?page=admin' method='post'>
Username: <input type='text' name='user'><BR>
<input type='submit' value='Submit'></form>";
break;

case 'admin':
$admin = $_POST['user'];

$update = mysql_query("ALTER `members` SET `userlevel` = '6' WHERE `username` = '$admin'");
echo "$admin is now a admin.";
break;
}
}
?>


Easy, and simple. So there you go InSaNe, unless you figured out how to do it. Enjoy.

You must have the Private Message system installed. What it does is that it notifies the user its been promoted by a private message.

New, the first code that I posted was for if you're an admin, but don't know how to use Phpmyadmin.

The second code was the protected one.

And good job on the Add on. ;)
