PhP CSS referencing

[doc_t]

Hi

I'm writing a Php code that should open a different CSS page after logging in, SCENARIO : once you open the web page, you get to a home page that has basically a set of messages in the headers and a paragraph. You are required to log in or signup, the signup is not a problem and once you have done signing up you can login. once you have entered your username and password, that is where the problem lies. Firstly, the Php code runs and validates your credentials then there's a condition... now when your credentials fail, you are told to either check the username or password, good. once you have entered the correct information, you are supposed to access a different page on the web, the problem lies when I call the CSS code after a successful login. Below I have attached a piece of code from both Php validation and a bit of CSS code. Please assist.

<section class="main-container">
<div class="main-wrapper">
<h2>Welcome...</h2>

<?php
$time = time();
$actual_time = date('D M Y @ H:i:s', $time);

if(isset($_SESSION['u_uid'])){
echo 'You logged in ';
echo ' on '. $actual_time;
//include_once 'success.php';
}
?>
</div>
</section>

Sorry what is the actual question or problem?

Either have a different set of pages for logged in users and logged out users which has a different css file linked if thats what you want, or you can do a test for logged in user:

if (isset($_SESSION['u_uid']))
{
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/authenticated.css'>";
}
else
{
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/anonymous.css'>";
}

Otherwise if you want css per user assign a css file to the user in the db and keep it in the session ($user session or similar):

DB:
ID, Name, User, Pass, CSSfile
1, George, george, ******, george.css
2, Jacob, jacob, ******, jacob.css

PHP:
/* on successful login */
if (isset($_SESSION['u_uid']))
{
echo 'You logged in ';
echo ' on '. $actual_time;
echo "<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='css/$user->CSSfile'>";
}
?>
