Firstly, only show "logged in" links to people who are logged in. I usually create a navigation bar for "logged out" users and a different navigation bar for people who are logged in.

 

Like so:

 

if($_SESSION['logged_in']){
     require("logged_in_nav.php");
}
else{
     require("logged_out_nav.php");
}

 

Secondly, you'll need to stop people who are not logged in from viewing pages that are only meant to be viewed by logged in users. Here's an example for that:

 

if(!isset($_SESSION['logged_in'])){
     header('Location: login.php'); //redirect back to login.php
     exit; //just to be sure that they still dont see the page if a redirect doesn't happen
}

That was a big help, thank you very much
