    I am having trouble saying if a variable in the session is not set then redirect back to the login page any help would be great thank you :)

    <?php session_start(); 

if(!isset($_SESSION['username']))
  {
       header("Location: login.php"); 
  } 
?>
    Code (markup):
    This doesn't work any thoughts?

    I don't see why your code shouldn't work :/
    try print_r($_SESSION) on the session, to check if its been set or not..

    This is the error that I get:

    Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/mofiki/public_html/testsite/header.php:3) in /home/mofiki/public_html/testsite/header.php on line 6

    Ah, the reason its not working is because headers have to be declared before any other content is echoed out or something..
    try putting it at the top of the script & including header.php and stuff after
