Changing the login link to logout

My website allows users to login and access restricted pages. What should I do so that when a user logs in, my login link will automatically change to logout?

I tried using Session variables to track if the user has logged in. Unfortunately, the login link does not change to logout.

Help!

I placed this code in Bottomnav.asp. Bottomnav.asp is displayed on a frame at the bottom part of all my pages. It contains several links including the login link.

<?php
If Session("login") = 1 then 
     Session("login") = 0 
?>

Logout

<?php
Else 
     Session("login") = 1 
?>

<?php
End If
?>

Try printing the state of the login variable.
Also, to kill the session, you'll want to use Session.Abandon

<% 
response.write "<!--login:" & Session("login") & "-->" & vbCrLf
If Session("login") = 1 then 
   Session("login") = 0
   Session.Abandon 'kill the session
   response.write "<a href=""Bottomnav.asp"">Login</a>"
Else 
   Session("login") = 1 
   response.write "<a href=""Bottomnav.asp"">Login</a>"
End If 
%>
