Complete, Secure User Auth Library

[Anon]

I found this Complete, Secure User Auth Library from here from the articles, and everything seems great and it works, but..... How do I protect the files i want to protect, that they are only accessible if a person is logged in? What kind of code do i add to these pages? I mean, how to use it? Please help me...

you can use a session to check the authenticity of a login. if you put you login script to be something like.

<?php
session_start();
session_register("loggedin");

if ( $username == "username" && $password="password")
{
$loggedin="Y";
}

?>

Then at the top of each file put

<?php
session_start();
if ( $loggedin != "Y" )
{
header("location: loginpage.html");
exit;
}

?>

Anyone who comes through the correct login will have the loggedin variable set to Y anyone else will be told to log in.

Mark.
