Coding redirect in an else statement after the header

BRONIC · #1 (**permalink**) Apr 19th, 2007, 03:21

I am trying to get my page to redirect to a members only page if login is true. The page that I need it to go to is Downloads.php.

Could someone please help with my code?

This is the page code:

<?php
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
?>
<html>
<head>
<title>Check Log</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<LINK REL="STYLESHEET" TYPE="text/css">
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<?php
if(!$_SESSION['name']){
echo "you are not logged in";
} else {
This is where i need it to redirect from (if login is true)
}
?>

You need to mover the test into the first block of PHP - there's nothing in the logic to stop you doing so - and the add a call to header and an exit if the user is logged in - something like:

if (! $_SESSION['name']) {
header("Location: http://www.sheepbingo.co.uk/");
exit();
}
