Hi there PHPFreaks! Phreak3r back again! I would like to restrict users/visitors to the site that are not logged in from access certain pages, I would also like to redirect them to the 'splash/landing page' which would consist of index.php. I already have something similar to what I am describing, except it only works with displaying register/login and logout in/on the navigation bar. I have tried many attempts which have all resulted in some sort of failure. Thank you for your answers and your time! Here's the code for the header page that display the navbar and checks if the user is logged in or not: <?php // Session is automatically incorporated into each page on the site. // Start new session. session_start(); ?> <html> <head> <meta content="text/html;charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"> <meta content="utf-8" http-equiv="encoding">  </head> <nav> <a class="logo">soapbox</a> <?php if (!(isset($_SESSION['logged_in_user']))) { //header('Location: /'); echo '<ul><li><a class="header" href="signup.php">Register | </a><a class="header" href="login.php">Login</a></li></ul>'; } elseif ($_SESSION['logged_in_user'] == TRUE) { echo '<ul><li><a class="header" href="logout.php">Logout</a> <a class="header" href="">'. $_SESSION['username'] . '</a></li></ul>'; } ?> </nav> Here's the code for the login.php script <?php include('header.php'); require('dbcon/dbcon.php'); ?> <?php // if fields in form are set and submitted, check if user exists and is logged in or not if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { $username = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['username']); $password = mysqli_real_escape_string($conn, $_POST['password']); $user_query = "SELECT * FROM profile0 WHERE username = '$username'"; $result = mysqli_query($conn, $user_query); $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result); // if username and password match, init session and redirect to another page. if (mysqli_num_rows($result) == 1 && password_verify($password, $row['password'])) { $_SESSION['logged_in_user'] = $username; // set to IDnum later on... $_SESSION['username'] = $username; // check if the user is logged in if (isset($_SESSION['logged_in_user'])) { $_SESSION['logged_in_user'] = TRUE; header('Location: main.php'); } else { // not logged in, keep on same page... session_destroy(); exit(); } } // HERE: else incorrect username or password error sent out. } ?> P.S. If there are any errors or if something seems off, please excuse that, I am very tired at the moment and do not sleep with any problems being unsolved.

soapbox //header('Location: /');You cannot redirect if there has been any output. Move that bit of logic to the "top" of your script.
