Password Protect page

[kipper1960]

Hoping someone can shed some light as I am new to php

 

I have set up a login for members on my site and all this works well, once logged in it sends me to a members page where I have used the following code to protect the page but for the life of me I cannot get it to work,  could some one help me out

 

<?

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['username']) || $_SESSION['username']=="")

{

echo "Please login to see this page.....";

}

else

{

content();

}

 

function content()

{

   My members page information I thought goes in here

 

}

?>

What exactly doesn't work?  The first thing to note is that the function you declare needs to go before the call of the function in your else{}.  Remember that php works top-to-bottom, so if you try to use a var or function before it's actually declared it won't work.  Also you would have know this if you have error_reporting(E_ALL) turned on.

Fatsol thanks for your reply but I dont understand sorry, this is the error I get after I have logged in and re-directed to the protected page

 

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home3/profitst/public_html/integration.php on line 17

That is a simple syntax error. You should be able to fix it yourself, if not, we need to see your actual (and only relevant) code.

trq,  thanks for that, as I have limited knowledge all I was asking for does the member content go in the position of the code as I showed in the first post and if not were does it sit

This is the correct way to use the code you have.

session_start();
// Notice that the function declaration is now above where you call the function.
function content()
{
  echo 'My members page information I thought goes in here';
}

if(!isset($_SESSION['username']) || $_SESSION['username']=="")
{
	echo "Please login to see this page.....";
}
else
{
        // This is considered a function call below.
	content();
}
