Question

Please i need your help with my script. I’m trying to post comments to news items on sections on my website only for users who are logged in. If they are not, they are shown a link to Login or Register, and the “Post A Comment” inputbox does not display.
Then when they login the form should display.

The form does not display, when they are not logged in, but it does not also show the form when they are logged in.

Please where could the broblem be.. Thank you for your time and patience. I apppreciate it.

 <?php 

if (!isset($_SESSION['username']))  {

echo "<a href=\"login.php\">Login</a>     OR <a href=\"register.php\">Register</      a> to make a comment" ; 
             }
             exit();
 ?>






  <?php

  if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {

     //process form

     Post A Comment <br/>  
      <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER       ['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

You will need to start your sessions.

Replace

<?php 

if (!isset($_SESSION['username']))  {

With

<?php 
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['username']))  {
