sign in query

[adiwood]

I have a sign in area on each page, however I want it to change if the user is logged on, on each page. The belo is just a conceptual view, i would like some more information on what code i should use?

Have i got the right idea at all??

Wht code would i use to check if the user had logged on?

Would it go something like this?

if sessionid > 0
      echo "You are logged on as $strname"

Else
     display username login box
     display password login box

You just about have it. You'll want to check that the session itself actually exists or not. If it does, then check for the session id. You may want to get fancy and ensure the session has been tampered with or hijacked.
