Re: conditional page loading

I have always handled this type of situation by having 1 page of the following design: <? // page header/layout stuff common to both pages ?> <? if ($num !=1){ ?> invalid user html stuff <? }// close of invalid user html else { ?> valid user html stuff <? } ?> page footer html stuff common to both pages -------- This allows you to keep your header and footer stuff common and only code it (and maintain it) in one place. What let's you do this is that you can escape out of PHP at any time (even in the middle of a conditional structure) without any problems. Just be sure to keep you braces matching! Hope this helps.
