Murugesan,

Ok lets say you want every user to login before they can access other parts of your 
site.

index.php:
<?
session_name("mysessionname");
session_start();
session_register("s_authed");
$s_authed = 0; // initialize session flag

if ((!$passwd) || (!$username)) // user hasnt logged in
{
  // display login form
  ...
}
else
{
  // retrieve database username and password here
  ...
  // check if they match
  if (($db_passwd == $passwd) && ($db_username == $username))
  {
    $s_authed = 1; // user has been authorised
    // redirect to real page
    echo "
    <script>
      window.location='main.php'
    </script>";
  }
}
?>

main.php:
<?
session_name("mysessionname");
session_start();
if (!$s_authed) // check access
{
  // user hasnt been authorised, therefore redirect to login page
  echo "
  <script>
    window.location='index.php'
  </script>";
}
else
{
  // display page
  ...
}
?>


if a user tries to access main.php directly without logging in they will be redirected 
to index.php
