PHP Admin & student login page issue !!

[sandyyyy35]

hi there,

I am asking that, is this possible to show links from admin page when admin login to the page in php. and when student login the admin links get hidden.

if yes please provide me the code for the same.

use SESSION variables
from login, save it in a session
after a successful login, check the user's credentials
im assuming your data is already saved in a table (user name's,user level's, etc.)
then just check it if its an admin

<?php if($_SESSION['user_level'] == "admin"): ?>
<a href="#">Dashboard</a>
<?php endif; ?>

You can accomplish this with the followings:

Let us suppose your database tables contains fields username, user_type etc.

user_type can be "admin" or "student"

Then after login you can save this user_type to Session variable like this:

// $user_type is the value of relevant field.

$_Session['user_type']=$user_type

if($_Session['user_type']=="admin"){
//display admin links
}else{
//display student links
}

Thanks.
