Hi there :) I use session variables to do this, once the user has logged in
and you know they are who they say they are, set a session variable using
session_register("isloggedin");
$isloggedin = "yes";
And at the top of every page you want protected simply do a check to see if
it is set or not. Below code checks to see if that var is set and if not it
redirects them to another page.
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["islogged"])){
header("Location:index.php");
}
?>
Hope this helps, Joe :)
