Go to User's Homepage Based on Session ID

[Stone Gossard]

I want to be able to have a hyperlink at the end of a page which can be accessed from a number of pages. This hyperlink should bring the user back to a specified homepage based on their access level, e.g. administrator is brought back to admin_homepage.php and registered user is brought back to reg_user_homepage.php.

I have sessions working on my site and i know this isn't too difficult but just now sure how to do the hyperlink thing.

Appreciate it.

Something like the following:
[code]<?php

session_start();

$link = "<a href=";

if($_SESSION['access_lvl'] == "Admin")
{
    $link .= "admin_homepage.php";
}
elseif($_SESSION['access_lvl'] == "User")
{
    $link .= "reg_user_homepage.php";
}

$link .= "\">Home</a>";

echo $link;

?>[/code]

No problem! I have code similar to that with a forum I am currently developing.

Thanks for that code and i've tried it ok, and it does redirect to the users homepage based on their access level but it keeps adding

code:

reg_user_page.php%22

Why does it add "%22" to the end of the URL? That's what causing it not to find the page.

I'd suggest that you have added a whitespace to the end of the url before closing the quotation marks

will

Will,

I had an extra inverted comma, thanks.
