Trouble with if statement?

[Snooble]

<?php
elseif($_SESSION['points1'] == 1){
header("Location: cheater.php");
}

?>

 

make sense? futher down the page i set $_SESSION['points1'] to 1 using

 

$_SESSION['points1'] = 1;

 

so when i refresh the page it should take me to "cheater.php" shouldn't it?

 

Thanks,

An if/else or if/elseif/else statement must start with if first.

 

Also if you are using sessions you must start the session first. Otherwise the session variables will not work.

 

So you code should be:

<?php
session_start();

if($_SESSION['points1'] == 1){
header("Location: cheater.php");
}

?>

<?php 
include 'sessionstartandsql.php';
include 'expire.php';

if(!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
   header("Location: mustlogin.php");
}
elseif($_SESSION['points1'] == 1){
header("Location: cheater.php");
}

$_SESSION['point'] = "".rand(0, 10).".".rand(0, 9)."".rand(0, 9).""; 

echo "You Scored:".$_SESSION['point']." points";

$result = $list['point'] + $_SESSION['point'];

echo "Your Total Points Are: ". $result;
$_SESSION['points1'] = 1;
$sql = "UPDATE wmusers SET point = '$result' WHERE username = '".$list['username']."' LIMIT 1";
mysql_query($sql) or die ("Couldn't execute $sql: " . mysql_error()); 

?>

 

full script. Apologies, session start's within the included files.

replace elseif with if

Also you still dont have session_start() at the top of your page to register the sessions.
