problems in php

[Porkie]

hi, i have two different problems with some code i have created,

 

Firstly i have a profile page, which i need to ask for a login before it loads up.i know that i can just do require(' '); however both my profile page and login page have a header so it just messes up is there someone off just having the login boxes on my page?

 

Secondly i have this piece of code,

<?php
if ($stuff['type'] == 'Administrator'){
echo '<div id="rightcol">';
echo '<div id="centeralign">';
echo '<div id="style1">';
echo 'Admin Control Panel';
echo '</div>';
echo '<br></br>';
echo '<div id="style3">';
echo '<a href="password_protected.php">Add/Edit/Delete RSS Feeds</a><br></br>';
echo '<a href="admin.php">Main Site Admin<br></br></a>';
echo '<div id="centeralign">';
echo '<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/t/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>';
echo '<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>';
echo '</div>';
}
?>
<?php
echo '<div id="footer">';
echo page_footer();
?>

however my code goes directly under the rightcolumn and not in the middle of the page, how can i edit that ?

 

cheers alot

I guess that your problem is there is no style sheet telling it where to move the code. From what i can tell this is more of a css problem than in php.

 

And there was no need for all those echo's. You could have closed off php using the end tags after the if statement and just wrote in plain html and then reopened after the html but i guess it does the same job.

Another problem with using that many echoes without a newline.. your entire code is on one line. Very, very obnoxious.

Try either of the two methods instead for your html:

 

Method 1: Outputting plain html

<?php
if ($stuff['type'] == 'Administrator'){
?>

<div id="rightcol">
<div id="centeralign">
<div id="style1">
Admin Control Panel
</div>
<br></br>
<div id="style3">
<a href="password_protected.php">Add/Edit/Delete RSS Feeds</a><br></br>
<a href="admin.php">Main Site Admin<br></br></a>
<div id="centeralign">
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/t/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>
</div>

<?php
}
echo '<div id="footer">';
echo page_footer();
?>

 

OR, saving it inside a variable to echo out:

 

<?php
if ($stuff['type'] == 'Administrator'){
$content_holder = <<<HOLDER
<div id="rightcol">
<div id="centeralign">
<div id="style1">
Admin Control Panel
</div>
<br></br>
<div id="style3">
<a href="password_protected.php">Add/Edit/Delete RSS Feeds</a><br></br>
<a href="admin.php">Main Site Admin<br></br></a>
<div id="centeralign">
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/t/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://xslt.alexa.com/site_stats/js/s/a?url=www.source1.co.uk"></SCRIPT>
</div>
HOLDER;

echo $content_holder;
}

echo '<div id="footer">';
echo page_footer();
?>
