That was quick! Thanks so much, that solved it.

Hi all, I have a basic member login script working on my website. Currently, if the user isn't logged in they cannot see certain pages and get redirected to access-denied.php by the following script: <?php //Start session session_start(); //Check whether the session variable SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) == '')) { header("location: access-denied.php"); exit(); } ?> However, I am trying to amend this code so that if the user isn't logged in they can see the page but cannot see various elements of the page. Therefore, instead of sending a user to the access-denied.php page, I want to set a variable in the above code which I can then compare with elsewhere on the page (to decide whether to show a certain paragraph for example). I have got this far... <?php //Start session session_start(); //Check whether the session variable SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) || (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) == '')) { $logged_in = "no"; } ?> As a test to see if it works I then put the following later in the file... <?php if ($logged_in = "no") echo 'Not logged into website'; else echo 'Logged into website'; ?> However, the output always comes through as "Not logged into website", even though I have logged in. Can anybody see what the problem is?
