Displaying a link based on permission

Expand Post »

I have created a login script using a session. Anyone can log into the website but I want to make it so a particular link is only shown if the user has permission.

In the database, access is shown simply by a Y or N (for Yes or No). If the user has a Y in the field, I want them to see the link when they login.

Thanks for your help!

Do you know how to retrieve the Y or N value from the database?

Re: Displaying a link based on permission

Sounds like a job for an "if" statement to me.

PHP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if (1 == $login)
  {
  if (true == $see_link)
    {
    echo "Link";
    }
  else
    {
    // Do Nothing
    }
  }
if (1 == $login)
  {
  if (true == $see_link)
    {
    echo "Link";
    }
  else
    {
    // Do Nothing
    }
  }

Exactly
