You should be more specific.

 

If that's the entire code then you're missing a closing }.

1. You shouldn't use short tags.  Instead, use the full <?php ?> pair.

2. You can't output HTML in your if-statement in the manner that you're trying.  Either echo/print it, or exit PHP.

3. Like Alex said, you're missing a closing '}' at the end of the else.

4. This looks very much like a homework question, which we generally frown on here.

nope, its not hwk, im just learning   I have a login script and want to customize it by showing the chat if the user is logged out and if they are logged in, then it just says hi...

 

I tried fixing it by adding the closing bracket, but it still does not work...

[Alex]

Did you fix what Nightslyr added?

 

<?php
if($session->logged_in){
    echo '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat1.swf?chatroom=LeetGiveaways"></embed>';
} else { 
    echo "hi";
}
?>

I have an entire login system, but thats the only thing im trying to add, i want to put an iframe if the user is not logged in and if they are logged in, then only sais hi.

 

please help!

2. You can't output HTML in your if-statement in the manner that you're trying.  Either echo/print it, or exit PHP.

 

You can't just place html anywhere. Just like you echoed 'hi' you needed to echo the html.

I guess that makes sense...

<?php
if($session->logged_in){
   echo '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways&user=UserID"></embed>';
} else { 
    echo  '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways"></embed>';
}
?>

 

So this is my final code

 

one mini problem...

 

src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways&user=UserID"></embed>';

 

If I change the word UserID to like Banna , thats what shows up in the chat.  How can i say to grab that from my already existing user database?

 

how can I add $session->username

 

thanks!

} else { 
    echo  '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways"></embed>';

} else { 
    echo  '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways"></embed>';
}
?>

' . $session->usrername . '

does not seem to work... is there another way?

 

thx!!

[Alex]

Small typo on my part, sorry.

 

<?php
if($session->logged_in){
   echo '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways&user=' . $session->username . '"></embed>';
} else { 
    echo  '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways"></embed>';
}
?>

[Pikachu2000]

Did you intentionally misspell 'usrername'?

} else { 
    echo  '<embed height="200" width="90%" src="http://en.gagalive.com/livechat2.swf?chatroom=leetgiveaways"></embed>';
}
?>
