hoq do i check if users logged in

[tritus]

hey i just made a register/login script how do i make it so it takes them back to main page and check if theyre logged in?

With code.

We can't tell how you specifically would do it without seeing your script.

Why don't you try to follow one of the many tutorials out there for user authentication.

i'm usually using header() to redirect the page so my authentication form doesn't really show up, you're either redirected to the login page on a login failure, and i'd display 'incorrect id or password' or you get redirected the main page

 

i wonder though if this is a good approach...
