Use PHP Sessions. $_SESSION['isloggedin'] = "yes";

Then on the page go:

If($_SESSION['isloggedin'] == "yes")

{

page contents

}

else

{

header("HTTP/1.1 404 NOT FOUND");

}

You can use cookies or headers and check if its set or not.. bit of a better way then the above.

In your login script you would do

// form post data vars, etc..
session_start();
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT membername FROM table WHERE membername = '{$_POST['membername']}' AND password = '{$_POST['password']}'");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($sql);
if (isset($rows) && $rows == 1) {
 session_register('username');
 $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['membername'];
}

Then on the top of all your member only pages have

if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
 header("index.php");
}
else {
 do what you want members to see
}

Logout being

if (isset($_SESSION['username'])) {
 session_unset();
 session_destroy();
 echo "Logged out";
} 
else {
 header("index.php");
}

because the way you are doing it (including your username) looks to much like advertising, which isn't allowed, and it really isn't relevant to the thread

I bet that your answer can be found under the reason for editing.

I'd guess that the content is objectionable.

And work on your online grammar/spelling. It's quite objectionable itself.

The content is not objectionable but you are!

you're starting off on the wrong foot here, defying the rules and moderators' decisions by putting the link back is just going to end up getting you warned/banned, and rudeness isn't going to get you any help. the reason for the link being removed was not due to your post possibly coming across as looking like spam, as i previously speculated, but it seems because of the nature of the content of your website - it is against the rules to discuss or post links to warez. neowin community forum rules

let it go, and let's get back on topic, speaking of which, how did you get on with the solutions provided?

it doesnt work yet but im working on it

[Admin of LAHP Central]

and does anyone know how to hide things on a page so only members can see it like hide a comment form for members only to see and post

[+theblazingangel MVC]

If($_SESSION['isloggedin'] == "yes")
{
	display comment form
}

you can wrap the processing code with it too!

Your link was removed for a reason, and that reason wasn't for you to put it back.
