Basic security system

[F_SH]

Hello

I've got a nice site for myself. Every page in it loads a header and footer include (with a require()). It also features user logins.

Now, I want to make the pages invisible to non logged in users. I figured this would be simply a matter of adding a conditional to the header than checked for login status and opened a {. In the footer I added a }. Basically, the whole content of the page would be inclosed in a conditional structure.

But when I do it, I get parse errors. It doesn't like the idea of putting unclosed conditionals in the header. If I put the if(){ at the start of the main file and a } at the end, it works perfectly.

Any idea how to fix this? I really want something like this in the header/footer because I hate cluttering the content pages..

Go the oppositve route instead. Check if they're logged in, and if not display your error or whatever, then just call exit().

That's a good idea. I'll use that.

Thanks
