using ssi.php to add login box

[sprange3]

I am looking for the correct way to add a login box to an external php site.
after calling the ssi.php file, I added the following code:

Code Select Expand

<?php ssi_login(); ?>
<?php ssi_welcome(); ?>
<?php ssi_logout(); ?>. The login works correctly, however I would like the logout link and welcome message to only appear once the user is logged in. On login, the user should be redirected to the forum (as it is currently), on logout, the user should remain on the current page. What is the correct way to code this? Thank you.
