Here is my code

<?php 

include('mobile_device_detect.php');
mobile_device_detect(true,true,true,true,true,true,'mobile.php',false);
?>
<?php
  session_start();?>
<?php
$password = "hellothere";  // Modify Password to suit for access, Max 10 Char.
?>

When the user logs in it lets them fill out a form which submits to a second page. That page then auto reloads back to this page. When it does that it currently asks for the login again. I want it to know its the user and to not have them login again. Someone tried to offer some help with sessions but the code does not work. It doesn't even keep you logged in.

Any help is appreciated.

if (isset($_POST["password"]) && ($_POST["password"]=="$password") || ($_SESSION['login']))

I am no expert, but there would be no password posted if session is set for login.

<?php
$password = "hellothere";  // Modify Password to suit for access, Max 10 Char.
if (isset($_POST['password']) && ($_POST['password']==$password)){
$_SESSION['login'] = 'whatiwantittobe';
header("Location: backtothispage.php"); // force reload of the page with login session
}elseif(isset($_POST['password']) && ($_POST['password']!=$password)){
$_SESSION['errors'] = "Password Incorrect";
header("Location: backtothispage.php"); // force reload of the page with login session
}
?>

then

if(isset($_SESSION["login"])){
// my private stuff here
}

should be enough but not tested.
