If username = admin

[DYWBH]

I am trying to make it so if the admin user logs in it directs them to the admin page. I am using sessions.

 

<?php
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
session_start();
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
?>

 

Here is the code i'm using:

if ($username = 'admin'){
header("Location: ./admin.php");
}
else

 

However, it is directing to the admin.php page even if you aren't the admin or even if youre not logged in! What's wrong with my code?

 

Also, is this the best way to go around having an admin page? What other ways would you suggest?

 

Thanks

I will elaborate on what abra posted in case you don't understand what he is trying to say. You need to use the correct operator when comparing the $username variable to 'admin'

if ($username == 'admin'){
header("Location: ./admin.php");
}
else
