else statements

Im having a bit of trouble figuring the else statements out. I got a login for the site but i cant get it to display logout instead of login if the user is logged in.

Here is what i got:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

//Start session

session_start();

//Check whether the session variable

//SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not

if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) || 

    (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])=='')) {

    echo "<a href='http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/login-form.php'>Click here</a> to login to your account.<br><a href='http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/register-form.php'>Click here</a> to create an account.'

    

} else {

echo '<a href='http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/logout.php'>Click here</a> to logout.'

}

?>

Where am i goin wrong ? :(

it seems that you closed the double quotation with a single one and no semi colon in both echo statements. f

when you write a string you either go "this is a string" or 'this another string'. They have their own advantages.

try this:

php Code:

<?php 
//Start session 
session_start(); 
//Check whether the session variable 
//SESS_MEMBER_ID is present or not 
if(!isset($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID']) ||  
    (trim($_SESSION['SESS_MEMBER_ID'])=='')) { 
    echo "<a href='http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/login-form.php'>Click here</a> to login to your account.<br><a href='http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/register-form.php'>Click here</a> to create an account.";
     
} else { 
echo '<a href="http://www.sb0t.tentun.co.uk/Login/logout.php">Click here</a> to logout.' ;
} 
?>
