php code for "if logged in" vs "if not logged in"

Permalink
I'd like a login box to appear if not logged in. Otherwise, that area should show a Search box.

Well I know there is two ways that I know of
$u = new User();
if($u->isLoggedIn()) {
   //search box
} else {
   //login box
}


The other way is ($u->getUserID()!='')//this means they are logged in. I think the above way is better.

Or did you also want the code for login and search box?

Thanks, I believe this is what I wanted if this is the correct code to get it to work with Concrete5. I just wasn't sure what keyword C5 might use to signify logged in vs. logged out.

I have the searchbox and login box all coded up, so presumably I can just put the correct bits in the corresponding spaces where you have your //comments ...is that right?

Yeah, that is exactly right. and this is the right "concrete5" way of doing it ; )

Actually My code was backward. I edit the comment, so it will display correctly!
