How to deactivate certain links for guest?

[sangeetha]

Hi all,

 I have seen this in many sites, we could not access certain links unless we login...  I don't have any idea about this, could anyone tell me what is the logic behind this...:)

once you have your log in set up, you would do something simple like this...

if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "yes") {
    echo "<a>link</a>";
}

This is like we are introducing some links after logging in...but what i actually mean is, the link should be there but it should not be active for guests...

than add an else statement

if ($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "yes") {
    echo "<a>link</a>";
} else {
    echo "link";
}

Let me try this out in my script...

You'll only be copying the link text though, but then a logged in user will not be able to go anywhere either 🙂

But that's a good point: another check should be performed at the page that is linked to.
