very simple login script question!

I know this is simple, but I am not a php programmer,so cannot figure it out.

All i want to do is. when user is not logged in, he should see 'LOGIN' instead of 'SIGNOUT'. I have no idea how to do this.

  
<li style="float: right;"><? if($_COOKIE[$ck_userid]) { ?>
	<a href="?view=logout&signout=now" rel="nofollow"><?=$lang['SIGNOUT']; ?> </a></li>
<?	} ?>

Code (markup):

help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

If you are using sessions or cookies you can have a conditional statement checking if the session or cookie is set or not.

 

I wish i could have understood what you said. Thanks for the tip!

Can sombody help me on altering this code rather than suggesting what to do, i don't know php.

Thanks

it's simple,just erase SIGNOUT from your script and type LOGIN there.
If it doesn't works,PM me

 

HI,

Thanks for the tip! how will this work ? as i want to use LOGIN when user is a guest. and i want LOGIN to change to SIGNOUT after the user has logged in.

Thanks

I think that isset command will do the trick, try the following:

<li style="float: right;"><? if(isset($_COOKIE[$ck_userid])) { ?>
	<a href="?view=logout&signout=now" rel="nofollow"><?=$lang['SIGNOUT']; ?> </a></li>
<?	} ?>

Code (markup):

For more on this command try this link to php.net site. Hope that helps really.

 

hey redbay,

thanks for the help! that did not do the trick...I m not sure if i am clear on what am looking for

for guest
<a href="login.html">login</a>

For logged in
<? if(isset($_COOKIE[$ck_userid])) { ?>
<a href="?view=logout&signout=now" rel="nofollow"><?=$lang['SIGNOUT']; ?> </a>

I am unsure on how do i switch between these two.

Thanks

<li style="float: right;">
<? if(isset($_COOKIE[$ck_userid])) { ?>
	<a href="?view=logout&signout=now" rel="nofollow"><?=$lang['SIGNOUT']; ?> </a></li>
<?	} else { ?>
	<a href="?view=login&login=now" rel="nofollow"><?=$lang['LOGIN']; ?> </a></li>
<?	} ?>

PHP:

is this what u looking for?
I assume that if the $_COOKIE[$ck_userid] is SET, the user is logged in and if it is not, the user is not logged in.

Replace the url and $LANG of login as u wish.
good luck

 

what more do I say?

Try this:
<li style="float: right;"><?php if($_COOKIE[$ck_userid]) { echo '<a href="?view=logout&signout=now" rel="nofollow">'.$lang['SIGNOUT']. '</a>'; }else{ echo '<a href="?view=login&signin=now">'. .$lang['SIGNIN']. '</a>'; } ?></li>

I don't know the URL which shows when you click login, so you need to edit . href after else.
