PHP: Restrict access to a section of code

[tedrodgers]

hi guys,

I have implemented the login/user auth sections of my webby without any
problems. Ive used the built in server behaviours in DW8. So i have a session
variable called MM_username.

now instead of restricting access to a whole page, i just need to restrict
access to certain sections inside a page. For example i have a user admin panel
that i only want to show if they are logged in. and i only want the logout
button to show if they are logged in etc.

im not great at hand coding php yet , so any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

ted.

<?php if($_SESSION['MM_username']) { ?>
<!-- HTML code you want displayed goes here -->
<form name="logoutform" method="POST" action="logout.php">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Log Out">
</form>
<?php } ?>

By the way: you'd be much better off in the macromedia.dreamweaver or
macromedia.dreamweaver.appdev groups; this group is fairly low volume.
