[FX.php List] How do I hide a set of links?

[Bob Patin]

Jon,

You won't need it with session variables; what I would do is, in the  
login procedure, retrieve the field that determines the user type.  
Store that in a session variable like this:

$_SESSION['usertype'] = $findData['usertype'][0];

and then you can use it on all your pages of your site.

I "turn on and off" table rows all the time using IF statements, so  
that I can customize a page's display depending on different  
situations. Your scenario is a typical case where I'd use an IF  
statement like that.
