Hide a Link

Hello,

I have my s_profile.php, when I log-in to my account and go to the s_profile.php,. there is

a there "Send a Private Message". I want to hide that send private message because

when I clicked that linked. I will send a private message to my self. So to avoid that. I

want to hide that linked.


But, when I search my classmate profile page(s_profile.php), the linked "Send a Private

Message" will appear. So that I can send a private message to my classmate.


----------------------------------


How can I do this ?

Thank you in Advanced.

when a user logs in, their ID is stored in a session.

you need to use an if statement to compare the userID session variable with the UserID from the recordset on the s_profile.php page, for example:

<?php if($_SESSION['IdSession'] != $row_recordsetName['IdColumn']) { ?>

<link code here>

<?php } ?>

where IdSession is the name of the session variable and IdColumn is the name of the ID column in the users table

Hi Jason,

I followed your suggestion. here is the blocked of codes.

  <?php if($_SESSION['SecurityAssist_studStudentID'] != $row_rs_stud['studStudentID']) { ?>

<a href="s_mail.php?studStudentID=<?php echo $row_rs_Student['studStudentID']; ?>"><img src="../images/icons/Mail_16.png" border="0" alt="" width="16" height="16" align="absmiddle" /> Send <?php echo $row_rs_Student['studStudentFirstName']; ?>'s a Private Message</a>

<?php } ?>  

--------------------------------------------

when I view my profile_page.php the link disappear. but when I search and check the

profile of my classmates the link is also disappear.



How was that ?

try adding the following at line 1:

<?php @session_start(); ?>

if that still does not work, to troubleshoot the problem, change:

<?php if($_SESSION['SecurityAssist_studStudentID'] != $row_rs_stud['studStudentID']) { ?>

to:

<?php echo("SecurityAssist_studStudentID: ". $_SESSION['SecurityAssist_studStudentID']."<br />studStudentID: ".$row_rs_stud['studStudentID'].""); ?>

<?php if($_SESSION['SecurityAssist_studStudentID'] != $row_rs_stud['studStudentID']) { ?>

and post back the value for each variable that is written to the page.

Hi Jason,.

Thanks a lot ... It's working :)
