使用PHP禁用href链接

Question

I have a page with a menu on for logged in users

i am including this page on all the other pages in my site but i don't want users that are NOT logged in to be able to click the links

How can I disable all the links on that page if a PHP variable = 'no'

i know i can use

if($php_var == 'no') {
    //do something here
}

but I'm not sure how to disable the links?

Is there any way using CSS or Javascript to disable links?

Answer 1

If i understood everything correctly, the answer is quite simple. Why dont you just replace the links with plain strings?

if($php_var === "no") {
    echo "This is the text of your link.";
} else
{
    echo "<a href="your.link">This is the text of your link.</a>";
}

But as already mentioned, completely hiding the links is better, as usual users gets confused by such things.
