Hi
Exit will only stop the current script. If you want to send them out of your member area try header("location:http:\somepage.php/");

alternativly put the check part at the top of the script.

Remember, you can have a form with variables in after you check the variables...

//top script
if ($something == $somethingelse) {
//show members area
}
else {exit;}

//bottom script
//form stuff

(NB: I'm currently having problems with my else statements objecting to me, so if the above gives an error...)

The theory is okay though
