You'll want to a check to see if their session is active. Are you using the
$_SESSION array? If so, you could do something as simple as a quick if at
the top of each page:
if ( !isset( $_SESSION['blah'] )
{
header( "Location: login.php" );
}
You should read up on session tracking. That's really what you want. Once
the session is established, its really just a matter of "Is it there?" and
"If not, what do I do?".
