New block with user check

Hi all,

I try to install a new (PHP) block in which I'll show different text according to if a user is logged in or not. I looked into some of the forum posts and so far I came up with this:

include "/mainfile.php";

if ( $xoopsUser ) {
   echo 'Welcome to this page!';
} else {
   echo 'Register now!';
}


However, this does not work; it always displays 'Register now!'. How do I fix this?

Re: New block with user check

Drop the mainfile.php - it is already included.

Next thing to understand is that the code in the custom PHP block is executed in a function scope and therefore needs global variables to be declared global before use.

global $xoopsUser;
if ($xoopsUser) {
    echo 'Welcome to this page!';
}
else {
    echo 'Register now!';
}

This worked, thanks! Took me a while that there was an additional apostrophe in my intro text (It's free) so it wouldn't work, but after a trailing backslash everything was fine.
