Why does PHP make me do all that 
Iāve literally never had to do that before. (I also have like no clue how to work with classes)
Why though?

I believe it has to do with the fact that some other external function ends up accessing the same variable outside its scope for an unintended purpose which is what you dont want to happen.
It is quite easy to get started with, depending on what level you are:
https://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.basic.php
It is going to be 5 years since I started using PHP and Javascript, I could technically apply for certain jobs which require at least a few years of experience š

I donāt know if it is just me but the PHP manual is very confusing to look at.
However, I was able to figure it out!
I donāt know if itās the most efficient way to do this but if you guys see anything wrong with it, please let me know. Also thank you for your help Admin.

I see no reason why try to pass the arguments to the every method (read: functions of a class)
You need to define the constructor method:
function __construct($mysql, $login) {
this->mysql = $mysql;
this->login = $login;
}
And then pass the parameters to the class:
$usrRstrcts = new UserRestrictions($mysql, $login);
And in order to call a method of it:
$usrRstrcts->banned();
On a side note: the code that you have done is vulnerable to SQL injections, take care of it using the prepared statements.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. My only problem with that is that using prepared statements adds a lot more lines to my code.
I donāt know if I did this right.

Sarcificing security for the sake of simplification is a bad idea, your choice!

Donāt worry, I only didnāt use prepared statements on this because I was lazy. For everything else, I have used prepared statements.

You can also use the mysqli::real_escape_string() function with $login as parameter if you really want to not add more lines to your code; the documentation is this:

I would prefer to execute the whole query in a separate method in order to prevent repeating it in all of the other methods.
Define the variable:
private $restrictions;
And put the lines regarding fetching data from the database inside the constructor method (below anything else in it) (by those lines I mean the first 5 lines of the banned method for example) and put the results inside the variable above:
$this->restrictions = $result->fetch_assoc();
