Question

I know this is a weird question, but let me explain more. I use codeigniter as framework to make my site. I have some code that contain if else condition in view and want to use that as a href so it becomes like a button that changes based on whether the condition has been met or not.

here is the code:

<?php if($this->tank_auth->is_logged_in())
{      echo anchor("auth/logout/","Logout");
}      else { 
       echo anchor("auth/login/","Login");
?>

I was looking around in the net, but couldn’t find a similar case where if else statement being used.

any idea how to achieve that?

Thanks

That should work fine, as long as tank_auth is loaded and you have a closing bracket after your else condition:

<?php 
if($this->tank_auth->is_logged_in()) {
  echo anchor("auth/logout/","Logout");
} else { 
  echo anchor("auth/login/","Login");
}
?>

You might also consider moving your check for the user’s login to your controller, however, so as to keep tank_auth out of your views:

  // ...end of controller function
  $data['logged_in'] = $this->tank_auth->is_logged_in();
  $this->load->view('my_view', $data);
}

In this case, you would then run your conditional on $logged_in in your view.
