Question

I’ve found this login script and I’m trying to implement it into my website but having a little trouble:

// Connects to your Database
mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("testing") or die(mysql_error());

//checks cookies to make sure they are logged in
if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site']))
{
    $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site'];
    $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site'];

    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or      die(mysql_error());

    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))
    {
        //if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page
        if ($pass != $info['password'])
        {
            header("Location: loginscript.php");
        }

        //otherwise they are shown the admin area
        else
        {
            echo "<a href=logout.php>Logout</a>";
        }
    }
}
else
    //if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen
{
    header("Location: newlogin.php");
}

I want to get rid of:

        else 

        { 

     echo "<a href=logout.php>Logout</a>"; 

        } 

as it messes with my css, I just want the last part of the else statement to work but when i take it out it errors out.

how do I do this??

thanks

mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "") or die(mysql_error()); 

mysql_select_db("testing") or die(mysql_error()); 


//checks cookies to make sure they are logged in 

if(isset($_COOKIE['ID_my_site'])) 

 { 

    $username = $_COOKIE['ID_my_site']; 

    $pass = $_COOKIE['Key_my_site']; 

    $check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = '$username'")or      die(mysql_error()); 

    while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $check ))   
    { 


         //if the cookie has the wrong password, they are taken to the login page 

            if ($pass != $info['password']) 

            {
                   header("Location: loginscript.php"); 
                } 



                 //otherwise they are shown the admin area  


        } 

    } 

    else 

{

//if the cookie does not exist, they are taken to the login screen 


    header("Location: newlogin.php"); 

}
