Session

[zenon80983]

Hi i have been searching google for a few days now and have been trying to get help from a website that i know of that helps under the website design catagory in the forums and seems no one is able to help so im going to try here.

I have a members only website area and the login works and all of that but i need a script that allows registered and logged in users to view the content of that page and when a user who is not logged in trys to access the page they get redirected back to the index page.

can anyone tell me a script to do this or make one???

please help i cannot continue with my member system until this problem is solved.

and please dont suggest Cookies because they dont work i have already tried it.

If cookies don't work for you, then either a) you are doing it wrong, or b) you have it disabled. Its probably a. I recommend looking up a tutorial on cookies because there a great way to do member stuff.

This tutorial should help with the basics...

Cookies of course would be the simpler way to do it, but some folk are overly paranoid about them and as a result block them as a matter of course. So using session to pass this tempory information is one of the few alternatives.

you'd need to set a session variable - for example -

$_SESSION['valid_login'] = true

then test for it each page:

if(!$_SESSION['valid_login'])
{
header('Location:index.htm')
}

you need to put session_start() at the top of each page you want to use session variables on.
