.I can't seem to find where exactly have i gone wrong.. please help me with this guys! TIA! More Power!

Answer 1

if(($instby == $username)||($username == $admin))

Answer 2

$admin = "MJH";
if(($instby == $username)||($instby == $admin)) {
if($inst == $username) {
echo "<div id=\"editcont\">$editlink $dellink</div>";
echo "<div id=\"editcont\">$editlink <font>Delete</font></div>";
}
else {
echo "<div id=\"editcont\">$editlink $dellink</div>";
echo "<div id=\"editcontdisabled\">Edit Delete</div>";
}
}
Thats how i percieved you wanted it, but really, it is very hard to understand whats going on here. Are $inst and $instby meant to be different variables? Also, out of curiousity, why have you double bracketed your if(); statements?
Hope I deciphered it correctly.
PS. I don't think echo();ing html is good practice.
