Calvin Depends, In most cases you can do any conditional logic before rendering your page but obviously there are exceptions such as when the result of the condition determines what html is being displayed (and not something else such as if the user should be redirected or a session variable should be updated etc.) Some frameworks allow you to determine the portions of a page being rendered before the page is assembled allowing you to decide what portions are shown before they are rendered.
