Second Navigation Bar Problems

HotP0pp3r

I have built a site with php html and css and I have one small problem that I can't seem to figure out...

I have a login section and that redirects the user to a profile page where a second navigation bar pops up. The problem is if the user clicks on any of the tabs in the first navigation bar and is sent to one of those pages the second navigation bar disappears. Is there any code that I can use or anyway of being able to keep the second navigation bar showing once the user has logged in....

Thanks, any help is much appreciated!!

The html code for the nav bar on the profile page and homepage are as follows:

Homepage:

[HTML] <div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="pages/login.php">Log In</a></li>
<li><a href="pages/contact.php">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="pages/faq.php">FAQ</a></li>
<li><a href="pages/register.php">Register</a></li>
</ul>
</div> [/HTML]

Profile Page:

[HTML] <div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li><a href="login.php">Log In</a></li>
<li><a href="contact.php">Contact Us</a></li>
<li><a href="faq.php">FAQ</a></li>
<li><a href="register.php">Register</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="navigation2">
<ul>
<li><a href="logout.php">Log Out</a></li>
<li><a href="results.php">Results</a></li>
<li><a href="take_test.php">Take Test</a></li>
<li><a href="create_test.php">Create Test</a></li>
<li><a href="profile.php">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div> [/HTML]

How are you handling login sessions at the moment?

HotP0pp3r

At the moment the login sessions are done with php. It drags the user info from the database which is setup using xampp and phpmyadmin

Php code for login:

[PHP]
<?php
if(!empty($_SESSION) && !empty($_SESSION))
{
?>

<ul>
<li><a href="logout.php">Logout.</a></li>
</ul>

<?php
}
elseif(!empty($_POST) && !empty($_POST))
{
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST);
$password = md5(mysql_real_escape_string($_POST));

$checklogin = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE Username = '".$username."' AND Password = '".$password."'");

if(mysql_num_rows($checklogin) == 1)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($checklogin);
$email = $row;

$_SESSION = $username;
$_SESSION = $email;
$_SESSION = 1;

echo "<h1>Success</h1>";
echo "<p>We are now redirecting you to the member area.</p>";
echo "<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='=2;profile.php' />";
}
else
{
echo "<h1>Error</h1>";
echo "<p>Sorry, your account could not be found. Please <a href=\"login.php\">click here to try again</a>.</p>";
}
}
else
{
?>

<h1>Member Login</h1>

<p>Thanks for visiting! Please either login below, or <a href="register.php">click here to register</a>.</p>

<form method="post" action="login.php" name="loginform" id="loginform">
<fieldset>
<label for="username">Username:</label><input type="text" name="username" id="username" /><br />
<label for="password">Password:</label><input type="password" name="password" id="password" /><br />
<input type="submit" name="login" id="login" value="Login" />
</fieldset>
</form>

<?php
}
?>[/PHP]

So on each of the pages, something like:
[PHP]<?php
if(!empty($_SESSION) && !empty($_SESSION))
{
?>

<div id="navigation2">
<ul>
<li><a href="logout.php">Log Out</a></li>
<li><a href="results.php">Results</a></li>
<li><a href="take_test.php">Take Test</a></li>
<li><a href="create_test.php">Create Test</a></li>
<li><a href="profile.php">Profile</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

<?php
}[/PHP]
