header issue

[speedy33417]

I'm getting stuck with a header issue. I have a login page at mysite.com/login.php and I'd like to direct any unathorized access to this page from any part of the site.

My problem is if the user tries to see mysite.com/something/page.php

and finds this script:

 

if (!isset($_SESSION['userName']) && !isset($_SESSION['userId'])) 
{ 
        header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/login.php'); 
        exit(); 
} 

 

Once the user's redirected I expected it to jump directly to mysite.com/login.php, however somehow it only includes the script from login.php but stays in the something folder.

I don't have absolut urls in the login.php script meaning that any images used on that page are broken and won't load, because they have the wrong path.

 

Is there a quick fix to this problem?

 

Do I need to change everything to absolut urls or can I do something to phisically jump to mysite.com/login.php?

you got html before the header so in this case a solution not a proper programmers method use the

 

top  page

ob_start();

 

bottom page

ob_end_flush();
