session_start();

I've just managed to get the login and register pages of my website to work, but the session start function doesnt seem to work. I need to restrict a few pages for viewing by members only.
The code i used is

session_start();
if (@$_SESSION['auth'] != "yes"
{
exit{};
}.

HELP!

a few syntax errors...
this should fix it

<?php

session_start();
if (@$_SESSION['auth'] != "yes") {
  exit;
}

echo "You are logged in";

?>

You really should use

if (!isset($_SESSION['auth']))
  exit;

So your not using @ everywhere, very bad habit to get into.

unless $_SESSION['auth'] ever gets set to "no" or false.
