Start always with localhost/index.php

[ochi]

hi! I want to forbide people write in the browser:

 

www.mydomain.com/wathever.php

 

The wathever.php is what I want be impossible, because in index.php I have a login/password system.

 

I tried with  $_SESSION['auth'] but, it's not possible, because it's just cleaned with "logout" bottom or closing the browser.

 

Could you help me?

 

thank you! Regards

Can you explain your requirement a little

 

Are you wanting to redirect people to a page if they are not logged in?

Need a bit more detail.... just a guess... if someone is not logged in and they try to go directly to a page, then they would not have a session started.  so possibly something like this at the top of your page

 

<?php
if (!isset($_SESSION['auth']))
{
header("Location: notallowed.php");
}
?>

Hi, what I want to do is follow the links in the site, starts in index.php and continue with the links, so, if index.php have a link to second.php I can't write www.localhost/second.php, it should redirect to index.php

 

I tried, when the user login in index.php put a variable: $_SESSION['auth'] = true, and in every php file:

 

<?php
session_start();
if (!$_SESSION['auth'] == true){
	header("Location:/index.php");
}
?>

 

But it doesnt work fine, because I cant remove this variable if I would do it I wont be able to use the "go to the previous page" for example, I also tried different variables, but the problem stil appears.

 

Another thing is as I never delete it, when I close the browser and open a new one, it's still there.

 

 

Thank you! Regars

I still don't quite understand what you are trying to do; however, looking at the code you provided. try changing the

 

 

 

if (!$_SESSION['auth'] == true){

 

to

 

if ($_SESSION['auth'] != true){

or

if(!$_SESSION['auth'])

Hi! the problem isn't how to call this, it works also with:

 

if(!isset($_SESSION['auth']))

 

the problem is: once I active this variable I had the problem with the page it allows! for example in index.php I put:

 

if (autorized){
  $_SESSION['auth']
} else {
   the page
}

 

and it have a link to: page2.php wich starts:

 

if(!isset$_SESSION['auth']){    
     header("Location:/index.php");
} else {
   the page
}

 

If I close the mozilla and I forgot put logout button I can write : http://www.localhost/page2.php and I want it are not allowed.

 

If page2.php starts:

 

if(!isset$_SESSION['auth']){    
     unset($_SESSION['auth']);
     header("Location:/index.php");
}

 

The previous problem is solved, but, now I cant refresh or use the "go to the previous page" in mozilla, because, I'll start again in index.php

 

Do you understand me?

 

thanks! regards

Ok... I'm looking in the internet, and I think that I cant do what I want with an Apache option, I'm still looking at this, but I think there is a simplier way..

 

Thank you,!
