I have a  login form on my site that, when the user logins in, it turns into a panel of controls they have.. it worked until i tried to put things into functions.. but now it displays the login form even if the person logins in...which its not supposed to! here is the file that has the function: (the function is called "navBar")

[code]<?php
function DisplayLinks(){
?>
<div align=left>
<a href="home">Home</a> | <a href="register">Register</a> | <a href="contact">Contact Us</a> | <a href="http://www.forums.zycogaming.xerodefect.com">Forums</a>
</div>
<?

Is the variable $logged_in being created out side of the functions. If it is you want to add [code=php:0]global $logged_in;[/code] in each function that uses the $logged_in variable. As functions have there own variable scope and so PHP cannot access variables out side of the function unless you declare them as global.

What he's stating is that a variable [i]outside[/i] the function() can't be accessed without actually [i]declaring it[/i] as a [b]global[/b] variable. Like this:

Won't work:

[code]<?php
$life = 42;
function meaningOfLife()
{
print "The meanin of life is being $life<br>";
}
meaningOfLife();
?>[/code]


When it prints it doesn't print the value of the $life variable. BUT, if you do this:

[code]<?php
$life = 42;
function meaningOfLife()
{
global $life;
print "The meanin of life is being $life<br>";
}
meaningOfLife();
?>[/code]

Then it will work and print the value. You may think that $life is a 'global' variable already. But not within a function it's not unless you declare it.

Hope this helps!

I kinda redid my entire layout in Dreamweaver and in stead of having a function that did this: "if user is logged in, show controls, else show login form" i added two seperate functions, one that shows the controls and one that shows the login form, and in my page i put...

[code]<?php
if($logged_in){
navBar();
}else{
loginBar();
}
?>[/code]

which is if the user is logged, show the "controls" function, otherwise shhow the loginform function.
