how to include a jQuery file in php session file?

Question

This is my php file where it creates a session for the user:-

<?php
    //starting the session
    session_start();

    //checking if session of user is set ot not
    if(isset($_SESSION['UID'])) {
        echo "Welcome, ".$_SESSION['UID'];

    }
    else {
        header("Location: ErrorPage.html");         
    }
?>

And this is my jQuery file:-

$(document).ready(
    function hiding() {           
        $("#links").hide();
    }
);

I want my "#links" to be hidden after a user logs in. How do I include the jQuery file in my if statement in php? I tried:-

include("jqueryFile.js");
require("jqueryFile.js");

But it didn't work.

why do you want to use javascript for something that can be done via CSS? — mkk

you can just assign CSS class if the user is logged in like "hidden" and in CSS write .hidden{ display: none;}. However even better approach would be probably to have two templates: one with menu for logged in user and the second one with menu for not logged in user. — mkk

Require and include is for server side files, like php.

you should simply do something like

echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="jqueryFile.js"></script>';

If you want to use the require/include commands you should store your javascript in a .php file

require('jqueryFile.php');

you have to output that file (ready to deploy into client)

if (isset($_SESSION['uid'])){
?>
   <script src='jqueryFile.js'></script>
   <script>hiding();</script>
<?php    
}
