I created a signup/login system with PHP, and it works. Now I'm trying to have the index page display two images and two strings if the user is logged in. However, when I log in and go to the index page, it displays two broken image link icons and does not display either of the strings. I know I'm logged in, but I don't know why the following does not result in two images and two strings being displayed.
I am still learning PHP syntax. I tried different variations of single quotes vs. double quotes, and I tried writing the session variables into the HTML tags directly rather than assigning them to $a, $b, etc.
<?php
session_start();
include_once 'includes/database_connection.inc.php';
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/1.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="div_name">
<img id="index_logo" src="images/logo.jpg">
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['example_0'])) {
$a = "images/folder 1/folder 2/" . $_SESSION['example_1'] . ".png";
$b = "images/folder 1/folder 2/" . $_SESSION['example_2'] . ".png";
$c = $_SESSION['example_3'];
$d = $_SESSION['example_4'];
echo '<img id="id_example_a" src="<?php echo $a; ?>">';
echo '<img id="id_example_b" src="<?php echo $b; ?>">';
echo '<p id="id_example_c"><?php echo $c; ?></p>';
echo '<p id="id_example_d"><?php echo $d; ?></p>';
}
else {
echo '
<a href="login.php">
<button id="login_link_button">LOG IN</button>
</a>
';
echo '
<a href="signup.php">
<button id="signup_link_button">SIGN UP</button>
</a>
';
}
?>
You are echoing inside an echo
Assuming the session variables example_1
and example_2
contain valid and existing image names, then change to this - although I would style the link as a button instead of having a button in a link
