I'm not a pro in PHP so need a little help.
I have a log in function on my website which checks if user is an admin or a normal user which works perfectly fine.
I'm adding a new functionality where the system should check if user is logged in and display different buttons.
However, it only works for a user. What am I missing? UserTypeID
is set up 1 for a user and 2 for an admin in the database.
session_start();
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['UserTypeID']) == 1) //check if user is a user and display buttons
{
?>
<li><a href="user.php">My Account</a></li>
<li><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
<?php } elseif(isset($_SESSION['UserTypeID']) == 2) //check if user is an admin and display buttons
{
?>
<li><a href="admin.php">My Account</a></li>
<li><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
<?php }else{ // if user is not logged in then display these buttons?>
<li><a href="signin.php">Sign In</a></li>
<li><a href="signup.php">Sign Up</a></li>
<?php } ?>
isset($_SESSION['UserTypeID'])
returns true
or false
session_start();
<?php if(isset($_SESSION['UserTypeID']) && $_SESSION['UserTypeID']== 1) //check if user is a user and display buttons
{
?>
<li><a href="user.php">My Account</a></li>
<li><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
<?php } elseif(isset($_SESSION['UserTypeID']) && $_SESSION['UserTypeID'] == 2) //check if user is an admin and display buttons
{
?>
<li><a href="admin.php">My Account</a></li>
<li><a href="logout.php">Logout</a></li>
<?php }else{ // if user is not logged in then display these buttons?>
<li><a href="signin.php">Sign In</a></li>
<li><a href="signup.php">Sign Up</a></li>
<?php } ?>
