Display/Hide items based on (USER_ID)

[katharsis]

I have been trying to write an if statement to prevent unregistered users from seeing certain menu text and menu items.  I've been working with $template_image_navbar in template.php attempting to hide the PIC_INFO and E_CARD buttons when user is not registered.
How do I put an if statement in the middle of the HTML?

<td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" width="48">
                        <a href="{THUMB_TGT}" class="navmenu_pic" title="{THUMB_TITLE}"><img src="themes/hardwired/images/back.gif" width="21" height="15" align="absmiddle" border="0" alt="{THUMB_TITLE}" /></a>
                </td>              
                                <td align="center" valign="middle" class="navmenu" width="48">
                                <a href="javascript:;" onClick="blocking('picinfo','yes', 'block'); return false;" title="{PIC_INFO_TITLE}"><img src="themes/hardwired/images/info.gif" width="18" height="15" border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="{PIC_INFO_TITLE}" /></a>
        </td>

i think you would change some stuff where the actual {PIC_INFO_TITLE} and other tags are actually defined in php. look where they are defined and try to place the tags there-i'm not sure if that would work.

In theme.php I added the switches to hide the info button but it does not work. Do I need to do something elsewhere? Thanks.
