RE: [PHP] redirecting after login

I forgot to tell you: This snippet is supposed to go at the very top of the login page (right after the <? Tag). Like this, you can easily modify whatever login method you are using... just remember to add that extra "LEVEL" field to your user's database and/or modify the snippet accordingly.
