I'm not sure why you are trying to use session_is_registered() to validate a user, but you should get rid of that. With sessions, you want to start the session on every page you need session management. If you have a session module that you include everywhere, you can do this by registering each session variable, as that will implicitly start the session as well. If you want to greet a user by name, simply have a session variable called "first_name" or something. Then, if it's not blank, greet them. I'm not sure if that helps, but you at least need to rethink what you are trying to do. Chris Stephen Craton wrote:
Here's the code that checks to see if the user is valid: function check_valid() { global $valid_user; if (session_is_registered("valid_user")) {
     echo "<font size='2'>Welcome $valid_user!</font>";
} else {
    echo "You are not logged in.";
    exit;
 }  }
