Well I can't tell you what is right or wrong without knowing how you wrote the rest of the login process. Are you sure that when a user logs in the $_SESSION['logged_in'] variable gets set? Have you tested echoing it for verification?

Also, are you making sure to session_start() at the top of your script somewhere so that the session is active? It does have to be started every page in which you want to access it, not just the login script or whatever.
