[RESOLVED] Help with session cookies

[Arnora]

Hi All

I have a site with a simple login page (contains two fields eg ID and password and submit button) Which reads a list of variables and if successful drops the user on another page (seperate page if unsuccessful).

However if I type the entire pathname into the browser I am able to bring up the success page without having to login. ERR

So how can I create a session cookie?
How can I then ensure that the success page is only viewable to a logged in user?

I hope that makes sense.

I am very new to using php and building websites in general and appreciate all assistance.
