    I have a database for my members frm_status, this entry contains text as to the members status e.g member, non member.

    When my members login to their account I would like non members to be directed to a different page.

    Im really struggling on how to do this, is there some way that I could add something to the top of a page which does this?

    If member status is (get text from frm_status "non member" ) redirect to guest area
    Else do nothing …stay in member area.

    sorry for the question im so use to vb and php is blowing me way.......

    I like what papa_face has given you, but personally, I would go the other way with it:

    
if ($frm_status != "member") {
header('Location: somewhereelse.php');
}
else {

// page //

}
    PHP:
    It doesn't matter which way you do it (both will work), but systematically (if that is word) it's how I would do it... :p

    OK tried that and im still erroring, the following code must be close I hope, any ideas will be greatful.

    'groupid' is the db field and it is a number, value Gname = "Non Member"

    <?php if ($_SESSION['groupid'] $connector != "21")
    {
    header("location: ../paper_1.php");
    }
    else
    {
    header ("location: ../login.php?ErrorMessage=".$Language['sv_member'] ['error1']);
    exit();
    }
    ?>


    i keep erroring on these lines:
    <?php if ($_SESSION['groupid'] $connector != "21")
    {
    header("location: ../paper_1.php");


    have tried:
    <?php if ($_SESSION['groupid'] != "21")

    header("location: http://www.mysite.com/paper_1.php");

    This is a parse error
    <?php if ($_SESSION['groupid'] $connector != "21")
    Code (markup):
    Do you want to check both values $connector and $_SESSION['groupid'], If so use following code

    
<?php if ($_SESSION['groupid'] == "21" && $connector != "21")
{
header("location: ../paper_1.php");

    Thanks for this i think the issue may be down to the connection? eg session?
    every time no matter if i login as Full member,admin or Lifetime member (package) i always redirected to Page_1.php

    frm_groups has a field called gName

    <?php if($_SESSION['gName'] != "Life Time Member")
    {
    header ("location: ../page_1.php");
    exit();
    }
    ?>
