Re: [Phpwebsite-developers] allow_access() question

[<ad...@tu...>]

I also agree that disabling the account may be a better method for
handling this situation.  I'd like to add that if the account is disabled
that when the user tries to log in, a message is printed to that effect
notifying them their account has been disabled and to contact the site
administrator.

+1 to Sumilang's method.
