Hi Jeff
Don't use session_register() just use the $_SESSION superglobal as you would
use any other array.
So does this work?
<?
//index.php
session_start();
// Login stuff done OK
$_SESSION['verified'] = true;
?>
<?
// Other pages needing a valid login
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['verified'])) {
// push user back to login page
header('Location: http://mysite/index.php');
exit();
}
?>
