Disabling hyperlink by using jquery and php

PHP
1

Hi,
The following piece of code is from DanSEO. Is any one can give me an example code using this code on an html page,as I am new to php and html programming. More over I want to show a hyperlink as disabled to users whome are not administrator. Is it is possible by using php coding(server side validation), if so please give a sample code.:slight_smile:

[QUOTE=DanSEO;3892743]

$(document).ready(function(){
$(“a”).click(function () {
$(this).fadeTo(“fast”, .5).removeAttr(“href”);
});
});

It would probably be easier to just use php without any javascript at all. Also if a person has javascript disabled then the link would show up regardless of whether they’re an admin or not.

In php you would just have


if($admin == true) echo '<a href="adminpage.php">Admin Page</a>';

Of course you would need to check the admin variable again on the admin page and if false then redirect to the main page.

PHP is a better solution than JavaScript for this problem because visitor can’t disable it.

If you want to block link execution on client side(jquery) you can try:


$('.admin_link_class').click(function(){
     return false; // prevents default action
});

The admin_link_class is class property of all links that you want to block.
