Question

This is my php file where it creates a session for the user:-

<?php
    //starting the session
    session_start();

    //checking if session of user is set ot not
    if(isset($_SESSION['UID'])) {
        echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['UID'];

    }
    else {
        header("Location: ErrorPage.html");         
    }
?>

And this is my jQuery file:-

$(document).ready(
    function hiding() {           
        $("#links").hide();
    }
);

I want my “#links” to be hidden after a user logs in. How do I include the jQuery file in my if statement in php? I tried:-

include("jqueryFile.js");
require("jqueryFile.js");

But it didn’t work.

Answer 1

Require and include is for server side files, like php.

you should simply do something like

echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="jqueryFile.js"></script>';

If you want to use the require/include commands you should store your javascript in a .php file

require('jqueryFile.php');
