Rather than use a full-blown PHP MVC, I'm designing one that will best-fit my uses. I have the basic framework done, and have coded the models and controllers I'll need to run my website.

Now I'm moving onto the Views, and I've encountered a small dilemma. My approach is working fine for me, but for future reference, I want to know if what I'm doing is a bad habit to get into.

What I'm trying to do:

In my View, I'm calling a Model that runs my authentication system, and requesting the login status of a user. I then use that boolean to decide whether to show certain elements within the view, and where to place others.

Should I be designing separate views for each login status, or is this approach fine? However, if I'm going to be implementing this MVC into the work I'm doing for my clients, I need to use the best practices.

Any advice would be appreciated!
