PHP login script Help.

[hoopstars]

I'm new to php...

 

I currently have a login script and a couple of html files.

 

What i want is that whenever my html files are accessed directly (i.e www.domain.com/file.html) it will redirect users telling them that they need to login first before they can view the page.

 

how will I do that?

 

thanks in advance for your help

You will need to create sessions, if you already create a session when the user logs in than on.. file.php, you can write something such as..

if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) { 
   header('Location: http://www.example.com/login.php');
} else { 
   echo "Welcome ".$_SESSION['username']."! Here is the file page.";
}

Simple, but you must make the HTML files .php if you want to use this code in each one..
