[SOLVED] Redirect if not logged in

[abch624]

Hi Guys,

 

I want to put an if statement on all pages that should not be viewed if the user is not logged in. I use this

if (empty($_SESSION['accountDetailsID']) || empty($_SESSION['email'])) {

Header("Location:index.php");
exit;
}

 

On my login page I have a create session part that is like this

// Register $email, $mypassword and redirect to file "viewprofile.php"
session_start();
session_register("email");
session_register("mypassword");
$_SESSION['accountDetailsID']=$accountDetailsID;
$_SESSION['email']=$email;
header("location:viewprofile.php");
die();
}

 

Now what happens is: Even though I am logged in I can not navigate to the viewprofile.php and it just redirects me back to index.php page

 

Please help - Thanks

Try...

 

session_start();
$_SESSION['accountDetailsID']='$accountDetailsID';
$_SESSION['email']='$email';
header("location:viewprofile.php");

First, please echo both sessions to see if they truly are empty.

Also make sure when you register the sessions the values given to them are not empty. Make sure you are using session_start for all pages that require sessions validation.

 

Also, why is there a bracket at the end of the 2nd script, it tells me there is an if statement, if so please post the entire script.

 

thanks.

 

edit: Replace empty with if(isset($_SESSION['accountDetailsID'])){

Hi,

 

This now works. The problem was this: I had written the if statement

if (empty($_SESSION['accountDetailsID']) || empty($_SESSION['email'])) {

Header("Location:index.php");
exit;
}

before the session start statement.

 

But now it is like this

session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['accountDetailsID']) || empty($_SESSION['email'])) {

Header("Location:index.php");
exit;
}

 

All works

 

and ya you spoted it right there was an if statement.
