Assuming you're using cookies for logging in (and the cookie names are "username" and "password", you could do something like:

if (!isset($_COOKIE["username"]) || !isset($_COOKIE["password"]))
{
  include("mylogin.php");
}
else
{
  //your member page info
}

 

That's very simple though. You should also check if the username is correct, if the password is correct for that username, and so on.

Should you really store passwords in cookies?

You shouldn't store usernames or passwords in a cookie. It's just bad juju.

Change $_COOKIE to $_SESSION and add session_start, and bam.
