Login verification script

[McAwesome]

I've been wondering why this doesn't work, seems simple enough?!

 

Anyways, my idea is to query the users database and compare it. If it doesn't pass it'll redirect to the login.php page. otherwise the page's logic is executed.

 

I wanted the if statement to be in a function and just call the function with the required user parameter. Is this possible?

 

Thank you

 

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['LoggedIn'] = 1;

$_SESSION['ig_username'] = 1;

$_SESSION['ig_userlevel'] = 1;

 

if(empty($_SESSION['LoggedIn']) AND empty($_SESSION['ig_username']) AND $_SESSION['ig_userlevel'] >= $input)

 

{

die('invalid permission');

}

 

 

echo 'super, it worked!';
