if statements and functions

[simsonite]

Hi is it possible to have an if statement and then have functions.

I know i am unclear so this is what i want to happen.

if($_SESSION['loggedin'] == true){
function 1 ()
    }
    else
    {
function 2()   
    } 

If it isnt possible how can i get around this.

I'm not sure. Why don't you just test it out?

Also, there isn't any reason that I am aware of to not just load up all the functions you may or may not use on a page.

What are you trying to accomplish by doing what you have explained?

Ok here is the actual code

<?php
include ('function.login.php');
if($_SESSION['loggedin'] == true)
    {
    function loginForm ()
    }
    else
    {
    echo "testing"
    }
?>

The problem is that it comes up with the following error
"
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting '{' in /home/-----/public_html/---/login.php on line 6
"

Also sorry for not explaining properly before.

<?php

include ('function.login.php');

if ( $_SESSION['loggedin'] == true ) {

    function loginForm ();

} else {

    echo "testing";

}

?>

Don't forget the semi colons after each statement.

Inside of your if/else statement, do you wish to define the function loginForm or execute it. Normally, all of your function definitions are written prior to executing a script. I can't think of anytime you would define a function inside of an if/else statement.

So it would make more sense to have something like this:

<?php

// define the function loginForm
function loginForm () {
   
   function code here...

}

include ('function.login.php');

if ( $_SESSION['loggedin'] == true ) {

   // execute the function loginForm
    loginForm ();

} else {

    echo "testing";

}

?>

I hope this helps. If not, try explaining exactly what the goal of your script is.

Good luck!
