how do i check if user is logged on?

[cantaladie9]

i would like to echo different links on each page depending on if the user is logged on or not,
e.g "log on" or "register" if they are not and "change style" if they are,
how do i do this?
cheers

Hi there,

emm.. am sure every user allowed to login must have an access level assigned.. rite?? well.. then you can forward each user to a specific page based on their access level.. good luck my fren.. :)

Assuming that you already know how to get the user to login, the following handles your problem.
[PHP]<?php
session_start() ;
/*--------------------------------------------------------------*
* Check if user is logged in. This check assumes that you have *
* saved the user's session data (in this case the 'username' *
* in the $_SESSION after a valid login. *
*--------------------------------------------------------------*/
if (!array_key_exi sts('username', $_SESSION)) {
// User is not logged-in, so display your 'please login' links
// ............... ............... ........
}
else {
// user is validly logged in, display whatever you want to
// ............... ............... ............... ...
}
?>[/PHP]
