Hello,

I'm trying to use the code below to make the <a href='http://www...com/.../footervote.php'>Vote</a> link appear if a user logs in and a user shows up in the function getEditorsList(). The vote link only appears if the browser is refreshed.

Any idea how I could make the vote link appear without having to refresh the browser?

Thanks in advance,

John

index.php:

<?php 

 require_once "header.php"; 
 //content
 include "login.php";
 // more content
 require_once "footer.php";

?>

In header.php:

<?php
error_reporting(0); 
session_start();
require_once ('db_connect.inc.php'); 
require_once ("function.inc.php"); 
$seed="0dAfghRqSTgx"; 
$domain =  "...com"; 

            $editors = getEditorsList();
            foreach($editors as $editor)
            {
            $editorids[] = $editor['loginid'];
            }

            if(in_array($_SESSION['loginid'], $editorids))
            {
            echo "<div class='footervote'><a href='http://www...com/.../footervote.php'>Vote</a></div>";
            } 


?>

login.php:

<?php
if (!isLoggedIn())
{

    if (isset($_POST['cmdlogin']))
    {

        if (checkLogin($_POST['username'], $_POST['password']))
        {
            show_userbox();


        } else
        {
            echo "Incorrect Login information !";
            show_loginform();
        }
    } else
    {

        show_loginform();
    }

} else
{

    show_userbox();

}
