How do I determine whether I'm logged in using PHP?

I would like to create an EZ-Page that has a particular section of content that changes depending on whether the user is logged in or not. What is the code to do this? I'll also accept a session variable that feeds the login information.

I'm good with PHP, but I wanted to know if there was a "Zen" way of doing this.

Thanks,
BP

if ( isset($_SESSION['customer_id']) && $_SESSION['customer_id'] ) {
  /* a customer is logged in */
}

@ bparker. If you just need this content in a sidebox, you might try my "Mystery Sidebox" from the plugins section. That's EXACTLY what it does.

Hope this helps.
