what are the best ways to show different navbar based on if the user logged or not?

Question

Hello 😊
I want to know what are the best ways to show different navbar based on if the user logged or not?
like one way is to make two navbar in the html file and use css to make one display block and the other display none and switch between them using js.
or another way is to use php "if statement"...
What other ways there are ? and I know there is a lot of ways but what the easest
way, also clean code.
Thank you all :).

$myusername = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['username']);
$mypassword = mysqli_real_escape_string($db,$_POST['password']);
$sql = "SELECT id FROM admin WHERE username = '$myusername' and passcode = '$mypassword'"; $result = mysqli_query($db,$sql); $row = mysqli_fetch_array($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
$active = $row['active'];
$count = mysqli_num_rows($result);
if($count == 1) {
session_register("myusername"); $_SESSION['login_user'] = $myusername;
echo "<div id =' login navbar'></div>";
}else {
die(" Error 504");
}

Nope
But I advise you validate your form both client-side(js) and backend(php).

Answer 3

if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "<script>alert("Sent Successfully");</script>";
header("Location: index.php");
} else {
/* Instead of using a function you can use die to handle errors */
die("Error");
}

If you use js, your server have to send more data (logged and not logged content) more js for handling they, client can "see" something of logged behaviours but all its a client work... Other side, your server have to "displatch" right page for your client then you get less data sendend and client have to do less work (but server a few much)... I would like second choice
