   i have a link that is stored in videoembed custom field in my posts

   i want registered only users to see this link

   this is what i have right now

   $download =<a href="<?php $key="videoembed"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);?>">Download</a>;
   	<?php
              if (is_user_logged_in()){
                   echo $download;
                }
              else {
                  echo '<a href="http://www.vitamovie.com/site/wp-register.php">Download - Please Register and Log In</a>';
                  };
       ?>

   but this displays in the page source

   $download =<a href="http://site.com/blah/blah.mp4">Download</a>;

   and you see
   $download =Download;

   the "Download" being the correct link, how do i get rid of the $download or what is the correct way of writing this

   tx in advance

   Some think like:
   

   <?php
   $key="videoembed";
   $dl= get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true);
   $download ='<a href= "' . $dl . '">Download</a>';
   echo $download;
   ?>

   Okay good so this will work:

   <?php
     if (is_user_logged_in()){
   echo '<a href= "' . get_post_meta($post->ID, 'videoembed', true) . '">Download</a>';
     }
      else {
      echo '<a href="http://www.vitamovie.com/site/wp-register.php">Download - Please Register and Log In</a>';
      };
    ?>

   Hi,

   You need to add this code in the post where you are adding the download link in the post.

   Thanks,
