@MindzaiFeb 04.2010 — How do you verify a user is logged in? Sessions? You should have some method for checkign a user's logged in state and then a simple if statement is enough to remove the tab from logged out users. Bear in mind though that you will also need to protect the page that the tab links to (if it links somewhere) since users can still navigate to the page directly.

@nikiiteaauthorFeb 05.2010 — ya i am using sessions but still the problem is that the tab is visible to all even after the condition

if(isset($_SESSION['user']))

is checked

@MindzaiFeb 05.2010 — Maybe you need to check the value of that variable instead of just its existence? It's a bit hard to just guess though, it would be helpful if you posted the source code.
