If Statement question

[voloproductions]

Hey everyone, how would I get the word TEST to show correctly?  I am trying to pass my user level into the menu. 

 

<?php 
	if ($_SESSION['userLevel'] > 2) {
	die();

	echo "<li><a href=\"#\">TEST</a></li>"; }  ?>

 

<?php 

$mode="mode22";
if(isset($_POST['mode'])) {  
$mode = $_POST['mode']; 
}
if(isset($_GET['mode'])) {
$mode = $_GET['mode'];
}

switch ($mode) {

case 'login':    

$username = $_POST['login'];     
$password = $_POST['password'];


include ('db_fns.php');

	if (!connector())
	{
		die ('connection dies');    
	}

	if (loginCheck($username, $password)) 
	{
		header('location: loggedin.php');
	}

	else 
	{
		die ('login has failed <a href="login.html">Click here to login again</a>'); 
	}

break;

case 'adduser': 

if ($_SESSION['userLevel'] < 2) {
	die('access denied');
}

	$username = $_REQUEST['userName'];  
	$password = $_REQUEST['passWord'];  
	$firstName = $_POST['firstName'];  
	$lastName = $_POST['lastName'];  
	$department = $_POST['department'];  
	$userLevel = $_POST['userLevel'];  


	if (empty($username) || empty($password)){

        echo "please enter a username.";

	die;

	}






	//print_r($_POST); 

	include ('db_fns.php');

	if (!connector())
	{
		die ('connection dies');    
	}

	if(!addUser($username,$password,$firstName,$lastName,$department,$userLevel)) 
	{
		die('There was a problem - contact the system administrator');
	}
	else
	{
		echo "Data has been submitted. <a href=\"/IOM/admin\">return to administration</a>";
	}

	break;

		default:

		break;
				}



?>

if ($_SESSION['userLevel'] > 2) {

	echo "<li><a href=\"#\">TEST</a></li>";
                       die();
}  ?>

 

the problem was you were stopping the program via die the echo statement. die kills the program so the echo statement was never executed

with the below code it is dieing.... it should be passing? 

 

 

 

	<?php 
	if ($_SESSION['userLevel'] > 2) {

	echo "<li><a href=\"#\">TEST</a></li>"; }  
	die();

	?>

if you don't want your program to stop executing at that spot, than remove the die();

so when you are saying it is dying now, do you mean that TEST is still not displaying, even though you moved it below the echo? That means your condition is not evaluating true.  do you have session_start(); somewhere before that condition? If so, echo out your session var, does it hold what you expect (and it is higher than 2)?
