is this ok in a view?

Even better? Create a function in a/the model which checks the login status and writes the link.

This is probably horribly wrong to do...

Code:

function check_login() {
  if logged in
    $log_link = '<a href="logout">Logout</a>';
  else
    $log_link = '<a href="login">Login</a>';
  end if
  return $log_link;
}

...but you could do something like this instead...

Code:

function check_login() {
  if logged in
    $log_view = 'utilities/logout_link';
  else
    $log_view = 'utilities/login_link';
  end if
  return $log_view;
}

...then, in the controller(s)...

Code:

$this->load->view($this->your_model->check_login());

Either way, if the link or wording changes later, you just change it one in the one function or view.
