    hi Guys

    im working on a college project..have users logging in and looking through various pages

    can someone tell me how to stop unauthorised people simply typeing in the full path of one of the pages and viewing it without logging in.

    e.g. i log in at index.php
    that brings me to main.php

    but if i type server/myproj/main.php
    it brings it up, is there any way of stopping this


    i appreciate your help in advance
    cheers

    use session variables

    ie.

    on top of your main.php

    if($_SESSION['name'] == "") ? redirect to index.php

    sessions will do the trick

    You could use sessions or cookies...if you don't know how to fix this, let me know and I'd be happy to do it for like 10 dollars. PM if you're interested, thanks.
