You need to start a session on every single page with a session name.

Code:

session_name("mysession");
session_start();



Than you have to save the login data into the session.

If you have more questions, please ask again.

Hi!

When you say, use the below mentioned code, all I need to do is use this code as line one and two.

does this code mean, there is a new session starting every page. If yes, I wouldnt need that, because, the requirement is to start a session and that session should understand the user(userid). When they click on a link of a button, they should be verified whether there is a session running for the user. If not, should redirect the user to login page.

You Help would be much appreciated for the successful completion of my assignement.

Once again Thanks a lot, James....

Hello!
No, that does not mean that it start a new session. It only means that php resuse the the session you gave the name.

Code:

<?php
if($_SESSION['userid']!=""){
//ok
}
else
{
//do login redirect
}


the login page could be
Code:

<?php
// db action or ...
//asking if user log in is ok

if($login==ok){
$_SESSION['userid']=$userid_from_db;
}
else
{
//login formular
}
?>


Hope that snippet helps!
