Hide and show a div depending on session

I have an admin link with a div id "admin". Sessions are started when a user is logged in to show if it is a normal user or an admin. Normal users can't access the files for admin, but can still see the admin link.

Is there a way to make it so normal users can't see the link, using only php or html, without jquery or jscript or any of those.

You'll need to use conditionals inside of your views:

<?php if($_SESSION['adminid'] == 1234): ?>
    <!-- Admin div goes here -->
<?php else: ?>
    <!-- Admin link goes here -->
<?php endif; ?>

Using interleaved PHP & HTML with standard PHP syntax:

<?php
if ($user_is_an_admin) {
?>
<div id='admin'>
  Only admins can see this...
</div>
<?php
}
?>

Alternate templating syntax:

<?php if ($user_is_an_admin): ?>
<div id='admin'>
      Only admins can see this...
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Not interleaving, PHP only:

if ($user_is_an_admin) {
  echo "<div id='admin'>
      Only admins can see this...
     </div>
  ";
}
