Page redirect help

[lukep11a]

Hi, this is the code I have above the head tag for myaccount.php which is where each user is directed when they log in. Does anybody know how I can modify the code to direct to teamselections.php if 'firstlogin' = 0 or to myaccount.php if 'firstlogin' = 1. I think I need to change the "if(isset($_SESSION['firsttime']))" part but not sure. 'firstlogin' is in the 'login' table and the 'userid' from the 'login' table is set as a session variable when they login if that helps. Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

<?php
session_start();

// the default page, if it's not their first time
$redirect="teamselections.php"; 
if(isset($_SESSION['firsttime'])){
// the session is set, so it must be their first time.
// let's send them to their "first time" page ...
$redirect="myaccount.php";
}

// redirect them
header ("location: $redirect");

?>

Are you having a specific problem with this code? You methodology looks generally okay. I would probably not use all the variables, and do this: (Not sure that it really makes much difference...)

 

<?php
session_start();

if(isset($_SESSION['firsttime']))
{
     header("location: teamselections.php");
}
else
{
     header("location: myaccount.php");
}
?> 

Also, if you have some value assigned to $_SESSION['firsttime'], you might check for that value as well as just isset. i.e.:

if(isset($_SESSION['firsttime'])&&($_SESSION['firsttime']==true))
