User login

[forumnz]

This isn't a problem - just a question.

 

Say I have a page named secret.php and I want only logged in users to access it, how can I stop others from briefly viewing it (my script refreshes the page when it sees the user isn't logged in, so they see it for a split second).

 

Thanks a lot.

set a session on the login

ie

<?php
session_start();
$_session['access'] = true;
?>

 

 

on the start of the secret.php

have

secret.php

<?php
session_start();
if( isset($_session['access']) && ($_session['access'] === true) )
{
echo "welcome";
}else{
die("FAILED");
}


?>

qnother thign you miught want to add is stuff like when they logged in and out.  you could do this in a database, i do it on my site, and so i can see if they are regulars, or only on  ocaisionally, and how long theyve been on forin total.

 

i beleive thats what counts how long youve been in in this forum....
