Hi all.

New to all this business (I say new, it's my first site but seems like it's taken forever.).

I've tried various methods to lock up some pages and whichever scripts I use, at the end, the pages are viewable and I get the message "A system error occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.".

 

this is the verify script

 

<?php

 

// Flag variable for site status:

define('LIVE', TRUE);

 

// Admin contact address:

define('EMAIL', '1stoptutorials@gmail.com');

 

// Site URL (base for all redirections. This is the address they will be redirected to if they try to access a protected page and they are not logged in.):

define ('BASE_URL', 'http://www.1stoptutorials.com/member/login_form.html');

 

// Location of the MySQL connection script:

define ('MYSQL', 'db.php');

 

 

// Create the error handler:

function my_error_handler ($e_number, $e_message, $e_file, $e_line, $e_vars) {

 

// Build the error message.

$message = "<p>An error occurred in script '$e_file' on line $e_line: $e_message\n<br />";

 

// Add the date and time:

$message .= "Date/Time: " . date('n-j-Y H:i:s') . "\n<br />";

 

// Append $e_vars to the $message:

$message .= "<pre>" . print_r ($e_vars, 1) . "</pre>\n</p>";

 

if (!LIVE) { // Development (print the error).

 

echo '<div class="error">' . $message . '</div><br />';

 

} else { // Don't show the error:

 

// Send an email to the admin:

mail(EMAIL, 'Site Error!', $message, 'From: you@youremail.com');

 

// Only print an error message if the error isn't a notice:

if ($e_number != E_NOTICE) {

echo '<div class="error">A system error occurred. We apologize for the inconvenience.</div><br />';

}

} // End of !LIVE IF.

 

} // End of my_error_handler() definition.

 

// Use my error handler.

set_error_handler ('my_error_handler');

 

 

?>

 

 

and this is the top and bottom bits for the page

 

<?php

require_once ('verify.php');

$page_title = 'YOUR PAGE TITLE GOES HERE';

 

// Start output buffering:

ob_start();

 

// Initialize a session:

session_start();

 

// Check for a $page_title value:

if (!isset($page_title)) {

$page_title = 'User Registration';

}

 

// If no first_name session variable exists, redirect the user:

if (!isset($_SESSION['first_name'])) {

 

$url = BASE_URL . ''; // Define the URL.

ob_end_clean(); // Delete the buffer.

header("Location: $url");

exit(); // Quit the script.

 

}

?>

 

 

<?php // Flush the buffered output.

ob_end_flush();

?>

 

 

I just spotted the bit that says "$page_title = 'YOUR PAGE TITLE GOES HERE';"

It's not as simple as putting the page name is there is it? It wasn't mentioned in any of the tutorials..

 

Thanks
