[SOLVED] hiding links via php

[dropfaith]

So i have a set of links on

http://www.lawrenceguide.org/user/index.php that i want to hide until the person is logged in

 

so basically if the session stats logged in display links if not logged in display:none

 

im new to php so i have little idea on how sessions work and if statements

Do you want to just hide the links when not logged in, prevent people from going to those links when they're not logged in, or both?

the links dont actually go anywhere  so i just need to hide them they are javascript to display content  for each user..

 

 

if you need to see what im saying log in with but just hiding them will work as theres no content to disply without the session active anyways

username: phpfreaks

password: phpfreaks

I don't need to log in. Right before you print out the links, just add an IF statement that looks for a $_SESSION variable that is only set if they are logged in.

im sure this is wrong  i havent checked it cause i cant get onto ftp from where im at but like this?

 

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION["username"]))
{ echo "LINKS WOULD BE ECHOED OUT HERE"; }
else
{ echo ""; }
?>

You don't need the else at all.

DW's right. Just do this:

 

<?php if (isset($_SESSION["username"])){ ?>
PUT YOUR LINKS HERE...
<?php } ?>
