[Resolved] sessions

[SureFire]

I have a page where I register the name session as access, I need the next page to display "Enter" if access is a valid and to say "login" if access is not registered. how close am I?

<?php 
// start the session 
session_start(); 
header("Cache-control: private"); //IE 6 Fix 
?> 


<?
if ($_SESSION['name'] = "access") { 

echo "Enter  ";
		} else {	

echo "Login ";




	}
?>

I'm certain that access is registered, because it displays it when I echo it.

Sorry, first day working with sessions, and even my first day with the if command..

does the session variable called: name always have either access or not_registered or somthing? what i tend to do is just set a session variable with the username in it and then on other pages put:

<?
session_start();
if (empty($_SESSION['name'])) {
// user not logged in
} else {
// user logged in
}
?>

Your code looks okies, just depends on how you set the variables
