PHP Includes

[dommox]

Hi, I have a script for invision powerboard that will show weather you're logged in or not. If you are it displays a list of user links. The script works but i want it on my frontpage so i decided to use php includes. However for some reason when using php includes it only shows up the guest part of the script.

This is the script:

<?
// Load and Start IPB SDK
require_once "../ipbsdk_class.inc.php";
$SDK =& new IPBSDK();

// =====================
// START MEMBERBAR
// =====================

if ($SDK->is_loggedin()) {
	// We're logged in. Retrieve member info
	$info = $SDK->get_info();

// Generate Bar Content
$member_name = $info['name'];
$extralinks = "";
if ($SDK->is_admin()) {
	$extralinks .= '<br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/admin.php">Admin CP</a> | ';
}
if ($SDK->is_supermod()) {
	$extralinks .= '<br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=modcp">Mod CP</a> | ';
}

// Display Member Bar
echo 'Logged in as '.$member_name.' <br /> '.$extralinks.'<a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=Login&amp;CODE=03">Log Out</a><br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=UserCP&CODE=00">My Controls</a><br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=01">Private Messages</a> </div>';
}
else {
	// Display the Guest Bar
	echo 'Welcome Guest <br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=Login&amp;CODE=00">Login</a><br /><a href="'.$SDK->board_url.'/index.php?act=Reg&amp;CODE=00">Register</a> </div>';
}

// =====================
// END OF MEMBERBAR
// =====================
?>

I'm just using a regular php include. Is there any other way of doing this or is there a different type of php include that will work.
Thanks in advance

Has the user logged in yet @ the front page? or no?

cuz if not.. then that's why they are getting the guest bar.

Ite shows guest weather logged in or not

[rbblue8]

then what defines

if ($SDK->is_loggedin()

i personally would use something like

if(isset(is_loggedin()))

but if you are using a session... find out where your user named is stored and use something like

if(isset($_SESSION['username'])) echo 'welcome!'

the ['username'] being the the session var that holds the username.

yeah i can't do that unfortuantly because that script runs off, of another script called IPBSDK and that script does not function by itself. The script does seem to work quite efficiently how it is but won't work with php includes

[rbblue8]

my setp is i have index.php (base file) calling all my other html / php scripts.

at the top of all my php scripts i have
if(unset($_SESSION['username'])die'You need to be logged in to see this page';

Which forces the page to stop loading b/c the user is not logged in.

I guess i do not understand your setup. IF that other script uses session that script should work. If you wish.. just make the entire modfication in an if statment that way it will not mess up the other script.

other then that.. I'm out of idea's for i do not understand the other script that you have calling this one.

That script does work. But not when included on the main page I dont think i need to change that script at all. But that script dosent work with php includes at all it's not just my front page. What i'm wondering is are there any other php include methods that will work with this.

[rbblue8]

personally,

not that i'm aware of. take a little look around php.net and there function list.
