Why does PHP need to be used. In the blocks settings you can determine visibility for a specific roles as well as specific paths.
For example you could say that only editors see an editing tool bar on all pages content/*
I may be missing what is going on here but this sounds similar than needing to do PHP.
Thanks,

May this is clue,
If you know member id, ,
Go to block configure
select " Show if the following PHP code returns TRUE (PHP-mode, experts only). "
and write the code
global $user
$userid=$user->uid; if($userid ==10 || $userid ==10 ){
return TRUE;
} else{
return FALSE; }

(Issue in Drupal 6) I need a php snippet that allows me to display (or hide) a block based on whether the user logged in is a member of a certain role, and that they are browsing the site at a certain path. I am able to display a block based on one of these things, but not both.
IE: I can display a block if the user is a member of a role. I can display a block at a certain path (<site>/node/path/x)
However, if i combine the two pieces of php code, then if one of them returns true, the block shows. What i need is for it to check if the path is TRUE, and then also check for the role membership. I have tested the code externally to Drupal, to make sure the nested IF statements are working properly, and they are. It's almost as if Drupal sees the first TRUE, and then stops looking to see if there are multiple conditions to check for as well.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
