simple session/password

[notaloser]

i dont have a database so what i would like to do is:

have admin.php where admins may enter a password. when they press submit i want it to go to a new page where the admins can edit stuff.

should i use sessions? i want it so that no one can just type in the URL of the page after the password, so i want it to work only if you enter the right password.

if u dont enter the right password, i want an invalid message.

yes sessions are the way to go

ok well then i should start a session with

session_start()

then do i do

if($HTTP_POST_VARS['submit']) {
    if($HTTP_POST_VARS['password'] == 'password') {

redirectJS( "admin.php?id=access" );

} else {
        echo "Bad Password";
    }

would this work?
