is user logged in

<?php
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
echo ‘Welcome, registered user!’;
} else {
echo ‘Welcome, visitor!’;
};
?>

i would like to use the php thing below for logged in users

<?php
$rand_posts = get_posts(‘numberposts=1&orderby=rand’);
foreach( $rand_posts as $post ) :
?>
“>
<?php meta(‘textdate’); ?>

<?php endforeach; ?>

how can this be done. using the code results in a blank page. doesn’t work.

thanks! flo
