[RESOLVED] Help with my $_SESSION

[MaveZ]

Hi guys...

I want to restrict Member page from Admin using session
(and so the Admin page too..)

When im log in as Admin my $_SESSION is set user_type to "Admin"
I still can access the Member page. That was not what I want.

So I type this $_SESSION code at member page at the top of the page

if ( $_SESSION('user_type') == "Admin")
{
     header(location: admin/index.php );
} 

and it always return an Error for line

if ( $_SESSION('user_type') == "Admin")

But if I echo the $_SESSION('user_type') , the result is "Admin"

Somebody can help me?

it's

$_SESSION['user_type']

not

$_SESSION('user_type')

Oh yes my bad ... sorry forgot about that. :p
The first of my post is from my friends PC. I didn't remember exactly the code ...

Here is my code

	$public_directory = dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); 
	$directory_array = explode('/', $public_directory);
        $root_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.$directory_array[1];

//member login first
session_start();
echo $_SESSION['$user_type'];
echo $_SESSION['$user_id'];

if( isset($_SESSION['$user_type']) == NULL || isset($_SESSION['$user_id']) == NULL )
{
	header("location:$root_path/login.php?err=login first");
}
else if( $_SESSION['$user_type'] == "admin")
{
	header("location:$root_path/admin/index.php");
}
else if( isset($_SESSION['$ordercode']))
{
	unset($_SESSION['$ordercode']);
}
else
{
	$username = $_SESSION['$username'];
	$userid = $_SESSION['$user_id'];
}

And this is the warning

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxx\member\index.php:11) in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxxxxx\member\index.php on line 22

line 11 refers to

echo $_SESSION['$user_type'];

and line 22 refers to

if( $_SESSION['$user_type'] == "admin")

errghhh... I think im just found the mistake ....

It is on this line

echo $_SESSION['$user_type'];

I shouldn't type that echo. When I remove the code above, the session is working.

I don't really understand what is wrong ... it is just an echo. 🙁

Can somebody explain it to me ?

Thx before :p
