Article Edit Button

[vividona]

hi friends,

In my simple funny article script

the edit button of the article appear to all members and guests

I need it to appear just for the article writer

you did not mention where/how you are storing your articles but i'm going to assume they are in a database. i will further assume that there is a field in the database that stores the user ID of the article writer. run a query and gather all the article ID's written by the current user and store them in an array. then while iterating through articles check to see if the article is in the array and only display the edit button if it is.

its easy.. when you write out the article, add an if for the logged in userid and the article's owner ID values:

<?
session_start();
function create_image($img,$w,$h)
{
return  '<img src="'.$img.'" width="'.$w.'" height="'.$h.'">';
}

function create_button($articleid)
{
return '<form name="form1" method="post" action="update.php">
<input name="article_id" type="hidden" value="'.$articleid.'">
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Update">
</form>';
}

include("connect.php");
$sql="SELECT * FROM articles ORDER BY date";
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
print $row["article_text"]."<br>";
print  create_image($row["article_image"],155,40)."<br>";

if($row["owner"] ==$_SESSION["user_id"])
print create_button($row["article_id"]) ."<br>";
}

?>
