Reason for edit:: Removed database credentials

[JackOfAllTrades]

Jeez...STOP putting your database credentials in your posted code! We keep having to remove them. Do you think it's smart to post your database username and password on the Internet???

There are 600 million tutorials on this subject, including here are Dream.In.Code. Start reading them.

thank you and sorry I forgot it will not happen again

Make a sesison virable up for logged in users e.g username the check if its empty or not ( guest will be empty )

<?php
		
		if(empty($_SESSION['dream'])){

/// If the user is not logged in send them to this page under this
		header('Location: http://www.example.com/');  
		

}
		?>

So when the user is logged in make a Session virable called what ever you like then on the pages you don't want the guests not to see just put that code and edit the username to what ever session virable uve made

And if you are wondering how to make a session virable up its like so

$_SESSION['dream'] = "Your logged in";

The session virable can have what ever in it has long has its being set. Remember to put

session_start();

at the top of the page to start the session
