Altering Link Class

[sorensens]

Hi ^.^ For some reason my brain's just not computing to do this. Basically what I'm looking for is making it so that "admins" have one color in links while "members" have a different color. This is the code I'm working woth right now:

[code]$query = "select member_status from membership where name = '$member'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

$member_status = mysql_result($result, 0);
if ($member_status=='2') {
// Etc... [/code]

Right now I import a CSS/PHP page to change how everything looks and I was hoping to add two classes there to use for how the admin and member links look.

I think you have the idea pretty much.

[code]
<?php
// Check to see the status of the user
if($member_status == '2') {
   // User is Admin
   $style = "adminStyle";
} else {
   // User is Not Admin
   $style = "regularStyle";
}

?>

<a class="<?php echo $style;?> href="#""> First Link</a>
[/code]

So now if your an Admin it will look like
[code]
<a class="adminStyle" href="#">First Link</a>
[/code]
and if your Not an Admin
[code]
<a class="regularStyle" href="#">First Link</a>
[/code]

^.^ Thank you for helping. My only problem left now is that my link is being echo'd already from inside the php and I can't figure out how to get it to echo within double quotes.

ex. this is the specific line I'm changing [code]<a href="viewprofile.php?id='.$id.'" class='.$style.'>'.$name.'</a>  [/code]

Sorry, what I meant to say was that the link when you view source looks like -

<a href="viewprofile.php?id='.$id.'" class=adminStyle>'.$name.'</a>

So the class isn't working :(

rather than changing all of your links, an easier way would be to change the link class.

eg..

[code]//** Goes inbetween the "head" tags of your document.

echo "<style type=\"text/css\">";
if($member_status == 2)
{
    echo "a:link {}";    //** Starting example, Admin link styles goes here
}else{
    echo "a:link {}";    //** Starting example, User link styles goes here
}
echo "</style>";[/code]

OR you could include a different stylesheet. eg, an "extra" one.

hth, Zac.

:/ I need to use the link from before though - there's only one link as it's from my usersonline. The style isn't giving me the problem it's applying the style to the link that's not working since I can't just put something like [code]class=" '.$style.' "[/code]
