At the top of every page, make the very first thing:

session_start();

You seem to be missing this on the first set of code you had.

if i do that nothing works at the page!!! his code has worked before!!!

bu every one can till access the page!!

I noticed your login page doesn't call session_start before creating $_SESSION['isLoggedIn']. You need session_start otherwise the session data doesn't get saved anywhere.

check your php.ini file for this setting:

session.use_cookies =

if it is set to 1 then your session uses cookies, if it is set to 0 then it is not.

The thing to look for now is that if using cookies, does the cookie actually get set?

If not using cookies, are you passing the session ID via the url?

If session.save_handler is files and sesion.save_path is /tmp look in your /tmp directory. you should see files called sess_SESSIONID where SESSIONID is some string of characters representing the session id.

Do one login, then go to the access page, if it creates 2 new files, you arent passing the session ID between pages.

Yeap it's all ready set

i made thes configurations i php.ini

session.use_cookies = 1 And session.auto_start = 1 and the php.ini is in the winroot!

i made this fileas...

Nr 1 login.php and it looks like this

<?
session_start();
$username=$POST["username"];

$password=$POST["password"];

include ("../login/mysqlcondbrr.php");


$mysqlcon = "select * from reg_info where username = '$username' and password = '$password';";

$result = mysql_query($mysqlcon) or die("Query failed");

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == '1') {

print "<p><center><big><big>Welcome $username Please click <a href=\"isloggedin.php\">here to continue to flameline.com</big></big></center></p>";

$SESSION["IsLoggedIn"] = "1";
}

else

{
$SESSION["IsLoggedIn"] = "0";
print "<p><center><big><big>Sorry, incorrect Password $password. or Nickname $username.</big></big></center></p>";

print "<p><center><big>if not a member <a href=\"register.php\">click here to register</big></center></p>";
}

?>

Nr 2 file the page that's check the user if hes valide isloggedin.php

<?
session_start()
if ($_SESSION["IsLoggedIn"] == "0") {
echo "You have not logged in";

exit;
}
?>
<center><h1>This page is under construction, if you have any questions whatsoever, sen them here:<br>[e-mail]</h1></center>

<?
print "<p><center><big><a href=\"\forum\index.php\">click here to go to forum</big></center></p>";
?>

The best about the code right now ist tha't when i access isloggedin.php it turns blank? he he why i do not know!!

[keith73]

you don't have a semicolon after session_start in isLoggedIn.php

session_start();//semicolon was missing
if ($_SESSION["IsLoggedIn"] == "0") {
echo "You have not logged in";
exit; 

You should have gotten a syntax error unless your php.ini file is configured not to display errors to the browser.

ups now i can see the page but everyone can still access isloggedin.php page...

get error msg how do i enabel that in php.ini!!

[LordShryku]

The whole error reporting area should be looked over, tbut here's the important ones

error_reporting:
I have mine set to:
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE

display_errors:
To print the errors to the screen, need ot have this On
display_errors = On

[Chrysanthus]

thanks man that makes it easyer to find errors!!

Now i see the error and the problem is this now...

Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Flameline\login\isloggedin.php on line 2

Notice: Undefined index: IsLoggedIn in C:\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\Flameline\login\isloggedin.php on line 3

how i fix that i do not know!!
