Member Tutorial: Taking it further.

[Trueskool]

Hey,

I completed the membership tutorial and have it fully working on my website. There is one thing that I have always wanted but just couldn't find out how to do so that it would work properly. That is displaying a message in the navigation bar for users while logged in, but something different when not. For example:

Welcome Trueskool, Control Panel | Logout <-- When logged into the script

Welcome Guest! Please Login or Register <-- When not logged in


I was able to put this code together, which was showing the logged in message where ever I put the code, but I need to take if further and possibly do some sort of IF Statement, along with SESSION.

PHP Code:

<?php
echo "
<p>Welcome '.$_SESSION['s_username'].'! <a href="http://example.com/member.php">Control Panel</a> | <a  href="http://example.com/logout.php">Logout</a></p>
";
?>

NOTE: I'm not a coder, I plan to start learning PHP properly within the next few months.

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks,

This is kindof like the code I created for that.

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_SESSION['s_logged_n'] == 'true'){
include 'menulog.php';
?>
<?php
} else {
include 'menuunlog.php';
}
?>

That means that anyone who is logged into the page will see menulog.php and anyone who isnt will see menuunlog.php

This is the easiest way ive found to create dynamic menu systems like that and it also means that you can quiclky adjust your menus without trying to find the right section of code.

Alternativly if you feel like doing it your way and not using includes paste this code into your site =)

PHP Code:

<?php
if($_SESSION['s_logged_n'] == 'true'){
echo "
<p>Welcome '.$_SESSION['s_username'].'! <a href='http://example.com/member.php'>Control Panel</a> | <a  href='http://example.com/logout.php'>Logout</a></p>
";
?>
<?php
} else {
echo "
<p>Welcome Guest! Please Login or Register</p>
";
}
?>
