Best way to secure blocks of html

[Canman2005]

Hi all

 

Are sessions the best way to secure blocks of HTML, so for example

 

if($_SESSION'sessionname'])
{
print "show this";
}

 

or is there a better way to secure blocks of code?

 

thanks

yea session variables are usually the preferred way to restrict content.  you can make a login system and after they successfully log in, you can set a session variable to show that they're logged in.

 

like so:

 

$_SESSION['LoggedIn'] = 'yes';

 

if ( $_SESSION['LoggedIn'] == 'yes' )

    {

        //your html stuff

    }
