login check

i have two scripts that are both flat php files... one is a 5 star rating script and the other is a login script... i want to incorporate these two together so that upon hitting the "rate" button, it checks to see that the user is logged in... here is the checking script:
<?php
require_once('common.php');
checkUser();
?>

below is the rating script.. where does the above go into the below to work??

<?
extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);

WOW

Not sure that somebody will readd all that code from the forum page...

 

Put the two lines between the <?php and ?> after this line:

if (!empty($envoi)) { 

PHP:

Note that this assumes what checkUser() does.

dzysyak, you don't need to read it line by line...

 

Let me explain my thought. First of all I cannot be sure that both scripts will work fine together. Than the following

extract($HTTP_GET_VARS);
extract($HTTP_POST_VARS);

PHP:

may fail on some php instalations as latest version of php do not support that arrays by default.

If you are sure that both scripts will work fine together, than may be you can just copy the code from the first script to the second one before any other line. But as for me, I do not see much sence to login just to rate something or even just rate the air. So, I can assume that we are discussing the wrong problem here.

But I can be wrong Sorry, if so.
