Re: Sessions + Variables + includes

great minds and all that .... this is some code i use but i have a login page that takes the username and passowrd and passes that to another page that does the verification. so: page 1 takes the username and password. page 2 registers session vars and sets logged in to true if accepted. every page from then on has this include file <?php session_start(); if ($loggedin != true) { echo'<head><meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=login.php"></head>'; session_destroy(); exit; } i use the meta http=equiv.... to direct them to the index page of the site if they are verified.
