Yeah your right, I'm trying to walk before I can crawl! Cheers for the help, Rory. Chris W. Parker wrote:

Thanks everyone, I'm getting closer. The only problem I have not is that I keep entering that test, I modified it to change the session variable once we enter the test but it somehow does not seem to change it? This is the code,

Immediately I see:

if(strlen($_SESSION['loggedin']=="yes")){

That doesn't make sense. Do you mean?: if($_SESSION['loggedin'] == "yes") { And the next line:

$_SESSION['loggedin']="no";

Why are you reversing the value of 'loggedin'? Once the person is logged in shouldn't they stay that way until session timeout or they log out?

When I click the logout button it works fine, but when I click on the link inside the page it simply reloads the same page as if the session variable has not changed at all? If I link to a page like this does it call the script again, or does this need to be done with a form submit? I must apologise for my lack of knowledge here! I program in other languages and as a result I have that I can get really deep in code I don't understand very fast!

Maybe you've already stated this in a previous email and I just don't remember, what exactly is it that you're trying to accomplish? Chris.
