Only allpwing logged in usersto view pages

[PHP_apprentice]

I am trying to set pages so they can only be viewed by authenticated users essentially a memebers site. If anyone can direct me to what code I could use or point me in the right direction it would be appreciated thanks.😕

if loggedin($sid) == 1 {
allowview
}else{
goto login page
}

Depending on what you are using sessions or cookies you should create function similar to this

function checkLogged() {

if (!isset($SESSION['user'])) {
if (mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE userid = '".@$SESSION['user']['userid']."'")) != 1) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
} else {
return false;
}

}
[/code]

Basically true means there logged in

Than on all files requiring it do this

if (checkLogged() != true) {
//this is a guest show login form
} else {
//user logged in
}

Can I put that before a

session_start();

on the pages that I want make aure there is
authentication.

I am probably just making this more complicated than it should be
