I'm trying to find out how to check whether the current visitor is a logged in user or not. In any other file than node.tpl.php and comment.tpl.php I could easily use $user to check, but this object has got a whole other meaning in those two files. I wasn't able to find anything using Google, so I wondered if anyone here could enlighten me on this. Thanks in advance!

The global part did the trick. Hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

Thank you. This is useful, but I have looked through some of the core themes to look how it is implemented in them, and I can't see any code like that above in any of the template/theme files... does anyone know how they do it in the core themes....?

You should use the variable $logged_in.

<?php if ($logged_in): ?>
<!-- logged in content here -->
<?php else: ?>
<!--  not logged in content -->
<?php endif; ?>
