hello and thank you very much for the advice especially #PFMaBiSmAd @wildteen88 that was a type error on my part so sorry about that anyway it worked like a treat but i think i do need to work on the error pages now, so thanks again laters

Thanks I changed the code above and slotted it into the page I wanted to protect but when i tried to access the page it didnt work (bearing in mind that I am working on my localhost xampp windows version ) this is the code that i use to create the $_SESSION once the user logs in: if #Mysql query is correct then returns a value { // Register $myusername, $mypassword and redirect to file "control.php" session_start(); $_SESSION['username']; $_SESSION['pass']; header("location:control.php"); } else { echo "Wrong Username or Password"; } this works for making the correct passwords etc but its the next step that I am struggling with. the following code I use on control.php to block unauthorised access to the file. <? session_start(); if(!isset($_SESSION['sm_username'])){ header("location:login.php"); } exit(); ?> where am I going wrong???

So to protect the other web pages in my app I would add the code: <? session_start(); if($_SESSION['username']){ header("location:login.php"); } ?> and add this to all the pages that I want to protect. !???! this is roughly right, as I cannot seem to get it to work on my localhost machine. cheers

thank you very much for your help

hello, I am trying to protect in internal web app pages being accessed without proper username and passwords. I thought I could use $_SESSION instead of using session_register then use this golbal $_SESSION to protect. Is this right or is there an easier way. cheers in advance

Hi I am trying to learn php before my university begins in the fall but I am stuck on cookies. What I want to happen is that when a user comes to a page, a cookie is given to that user and moves the user to another page. On this other page it will check if a cookie has been set and move user to x location, however if no cookie has been set then the redirect send the user back to the page that hands out the cookies. So I created to different pages: 1. cookie.php (this hands out the cookie) code as follows: <?php // Set a cookie // Cookie name: name // Cookie value: cookie // Cookie expire: in 1 hours setcookie ('name', 'cookie', time() + (60*60*1)); // Now check that cookie is loaded error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_WARNING ^ E_NOTICE); // Check if cookie has been set or not if ($_GET[$_COOKIE['name']] != 'cookie') { // Set cookie setcookie ('name', 'cookie', time() + 60); // Reload page header ("Location: checkcook.php"); } else { // Check if cookie exists if (!empty($_COOKIE['name'])) { echo "Cookies are NOT enabled on your browser"; } } ?> page two that checks the cookie and if no cookie exists then 2. cookiecheck.php <? // check cookie is correct value if(!isset($_COOKIE['cookie'])) { header("location:correct_location.php"); } else { // if failed then go back to page header ("Location:cookie.php"); } ?> I hope someone can just help where I am going wrong with my thinking thanks tourbike

I have just built my first html message that is sent when people sign into my newsletter. But I want to know if it is possible to include a header that when the people open the html message it asks the client who receives the email to notify the sender. I have seen this before on an email once or twice and i am wondering if this is possible with php Thanks for any comments
