Question

I have a problem with locking the page with session AND I have to
let it redirect to login.php if not logged in

This is the script I have and I´ve tried many of them and somehow none of them works

<?PHP
include("include/session.php");
?>

<?PHP
if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])){
   unset($_SESSION['logged_in']);
else
{
    header ("location: login.php"); 
}

?>

<?PHP
if($session->logged_in){
?>

This code did worked at sometime but it didn´t redirect my to the login.php

This is the code on frontpage and every subpage where the page is locked
so makeing attempt to access it should redirect to the login.php

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Either there are quite a few things wrong with your code, or I misunderstand the question_

• if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])){ ends with an unbalanced bracket
• Why do you unset() the logeed-in status, if you read it from the session?
• is if($session->logged_in) the same as if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])) ?

Anyway, what I suggest is

• Change header ("location: login.php"); to header ("Location: login.php");, some browsers might be picky with the caps
• Reduce the mess to

,

<?php
include("include/session.php");
if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in']))
{
?>

<!-- whatever you wanna do -->


<?php
}
else
{
    header ("Location: login.php"); 
    exit;
}
?>

And make absolutely sure, nothing (especially no line breaks or whitespace) are ouptut in include/session.php
