Check that user has logged in?

Question

I have a simple php login file that just checks that the user has entered the correct username and password from an array of usernames and passwords. Once they login correctly it redirects them to a new site. But the problem is that site can easily be accessed if it is just typed into the url. How do you make a script that checks the user has logged in?

Answer 1

Check to see if the logged in in the Form Load event of your page.



If their not then redirect them to the login page.

Answer 2

Set a session variable on login. In the page they're redirected to after login, check the session variable. If it's not correct, immediately redirect them to the login page.

Answer 3

Try this. When a user successfully logs in, the script creates a cookie on their computer. When a user visits pages after logging in, each of those pages checks to see if the cookie exists. If it does, allow them to view the page. If not, redirect them to the log-in page. And of course, when the user logs out, that script deletes the cookie.
