admin page

[Anon]

Hi guys quick question I have a login function if you log in as a regular user i want you to be directed to a certain page, However if you login as an admin user you get to go to a special page. This is how i'm currently doing it. It always takes me to the regular user page. this is my code.
If ($num !=0)// this just makes sure that they are a valid user
{
$auth = true;
session_start();
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
$id= $row ["mid"];
$name = $row["uname"];
$email = $row["email"];
$admin = $row["admin"];
session_register("id");
session_register("name");
session_register("email");
session_register("auth");

}
if (($num !=0) && ($admin ==1))
{
header("Location: admin.php");
}
if ( !$auth)
{
header ('www-authenticate: base realm = "Private" ');
header ('http/1.0 401 Unathorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
else
{
header("Location: member.php");
}

ok... im kinda new to this also but here is what im getting...

its going though the first if loop:

if (($num !=0) && ($admin ==1))
{
header("Location: admin.php");
}

and coming up as true so it spits out the header but then it goes though the second if loop...

if ( !$auth)
{
header ('www-authenticate: base realm = "Private" ');
header ('http/1.0 401 Unathorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
else
{
header("Location: member.php");
}

and the first step if false, so it skips that, but then it no matter what goes though the second step as true fo it spits out another header, overwriting the first.

try this:

if ( !$auth)
{
header ('www-authenticate: base realm = "Private" ');
header ('http/1.0 401 Unathorized');
echo 'Authorization Required.';
exit;
}
if (($num !=0) && ($admin ==1))
{
header("Location: admin.php");
} else {
header("Location: member.php");
}

again... im new so dont quote me. just though i would give you my thoughts.
