Authenticated menus...

[Mr_Mako]

Hi...

I'm working on a site that requires authentication to get access to some links.

My problem is that once the user is authenticated, I can't figure out the necessary code to show what I need shown.

Basically, if a non-user comes to the site, they will see a blank area on the right side of the page opposite the menu list on the right. Once a user is authenticated, then that "blank" area will show a list of links.

I've worked on a few test pages where I can show the link data to an authenticated user, but I'm still running into my main problem. The header information stores the "$display_block" information that I want to print later on (in the "blank" area). That wouldn't be a big issue, but I have two different display blocks I want to display based upon the reasons above, and can't find the necessary code, once below the header, to have the PHP parser determine the correct display block to show.

Any help would be really appreciated...

Hello ,

When you auth. user that time you know that what that user to show depend upon user level , so start session variable with that value and do using if else statement displaying that part

Ok... but I'm still running into a syntax issue from what I understand of code.

Unless I misunderstand it, you can't declare a session or session variable unless it's in the header of the page, correct? Or am I wrong there?

I need to display a table with info in the cells dependant upon the user login... and every time I try it I get an "undefined variable" error... even though I've defined the variable (ie., table) in an if-else statement in the header info below the session.

Is there something I'm doing wrong with that?
