a simple thing?

Hi,

Being a beginer with php, I'm having a few difficulties...
I am trying to modify a php page form a script.

In the body page there is: <?=loginbox()?> which refers to a block of code in the main.php file and generates a login box.

Instead of having that login box constantly displayed on the page, I'd like to have a simple Admin text link, and only when you click on it, the page reloads and shows the login box in place of the link.

how can I get a link to generate: <?=loginbox()?> when reloading the page?

Can you help please?

thanks,

Vinny

So you want to have a link, which reloads to a page with loginbox() function?
WHat you should do is have a link that looks something like:
http://www.mydomain.com/file.php?action=login
and in your code, you should have

$action = $_GET['action'];
if($action == login)
{
loginbox();
}

*You ahve to include the file which has the function loginbox()

I dont see why you need to "refresh" the page again if you just want to display the login box when clicked by that link, maybe I misunderstood, anyways hopes this helps

Thanks very much for your reply,
Here is what I tried (still not working, can you see what I’m doing wrong?)

Lert me explain better:

There are 3 files involved:

1/ index.php
all that is in this file is this:

include('./cmsimple/cms.php');

2/ cms.php

here is where the login function is:

3/ an html file (my page): index.htm

With this in the code:
<?=loginbox()?> the login box is always on display.

I am trying to get this login box to show up on the page only when you click a lik: admin

I have tried to do insert the code youy gave me:

		 <? $action = $_GET['action'];

if($action = login)
{
loginbox();
}
?>

to replace <?=loginbox()?> and made a link admin: /cm/index.php?action=login

That just reloads the page but not show the login box on reload.

How do I do this?

Thanks for your help,
(I don't mind the page reloads or not, I just don't want to have the loginbox constantly on display, bot only when admininstrator needs to login)
