Login form & Welcome Message

hey guys…

i’m trying to accomplish displaying a welcome message if a user is logged in, failing which (if not logged in), a login form should appear… i’ve tried this:


<?php global $user_login, $user_identity; get_currentuserinfo();
if ($user_login); ?>
Welcome back <?php echo $user_identity; ?>. (<a href= "/wp-login.php?action=logout">logout</a>)
<?php else : ?>
<!-- login form -->
<?php endif; ?>


it works up until the else comment, then the page doesn’t load at all…

somethings missing, altho i’m not sure what…

would really appreciate some help..
