PHP, Sessions, and HTML?

cmccomas

Can I use this with .html too? Have a mix, so I can format the echos as I wish? I think I can, just want to make sure

<?
session_start();

echo "Welcome ". $_SESSION['first_name'] ." ". $_SESSION['last_name'] ."! You have made it to the members area!<br /><br />";

echo "Your user level is ". $_SESSION['user_level']." which enables you access to the following areas: <br />";

if($_SESSION['user_level'] == 0){
	echo "<a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/news/index.php'>- News Manager";
}
if($_SESSION['user_level'] == 1){
	"<a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/news/index.php'>- News Manager
	<br /><a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/image/index.php'>- Image Manager
	<br />a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/roster/index.php'>- Roster Manager";
}
if($_SESSION['user_level'] == 3){
	"<a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/news/index.php'>- News Manager
	<br /><a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/image/index.php'>- Image Manager
	<br />a href='http://www.pistonscentral.com/pc/admin/roster/index.php'>- Roster Manager";
}

echo "<br /><a href=logout.php>Logout</a>";

?>

u cant name this file a .html unless u make changes in your apache config file which is not advisable cause then all ure html files will go thru the php parser

No, I'll leave it whatever.php, but I was just curious about adding html tags in the coding to help modify the echo's.

Can I do that with this script, if so how?

not sure what ya mean but use tags in ur php echos like <h1> <img> etc...ya u can...heres an example that would make some stuff on your site stand out more

<? 
session_start(); 

echo "Welcome <b>". $_SESSION['first_name'] ." ". $_SESSION['last_name'] ."!</b> You have made it to the members area!<br /><br />"; 

echo "Your user level is <b>". $_SESSION['user_level']."</b> which enables you access to the following areas: <br />";

I have a template page, with the header, style sheet, info, etc, was wondering if I could put this in the place on my template where the rest of the info goes.

Nathan__02

hmmm so u want to have ur header above everything...not sure if thats what you mean...but u can just use the include(); funcitom

ex. include(yourfile.php);

Just thought I would add my 2 cents worth.

You can have your php emmbedded in an existing HTML page as long as it is called .php
eg.

I love PhpBuilder today at <? echo date('r') ?>.

</BODY>
</HTML>

This way you can leave all the html alone and just add bits and peices of php.

Also you can break out of php in the middle of an if() statement ( or other control things ) to print html.

if( true )
{?>
true html here 
<?
}
else
{?>
False html here
<?
}
