to redirect you can do something like

 

header('Location: http://www.example.com/');

 

as for number 2 can you explain a little more.

i don't want that a user to avoid login form and go directly to the page with info;

 

 

localhost/test1.php  the login page; and redirect to localhost/test2.php

 

 

if he write localhost/test2.php to recive the message that he is not log in

 

 

and that link is not complete i think

well when a user loging in set a session.

 

Something like

 

session_start();

if($password ==$storedpassedword && $username ==$storedusername)
{
$_SESSION['db_is_logged_in'] = true;
}
else
$_SESSION['db_is_logged_in'] = false;

Then in all the secure places you check that session. Something like

 

session_start();

if ($_SESSION['db_is_logged_in'] !== true) 
{
// not logged in, move to login page   
header('Location: your login page url);
exit;
}
?>
