确保用户已登录

Question

I am trying to redirect the user to my login page if the user is not logged in.

This variable is created when the user enters a successful login

$_SESSION['loggedin'] == true;
    header("location:mainpage.php");

on my 'mainpage' this is my code:

if($_SESSION['loggedin'] == false)
    header("location:login.php");

I have added 'Session_start();' to the top of both pages also My current problem is that everytime I login I am automatically redirected back to my login page so this is clearly not working

Answer 1

You're doing a comparison instead of assign true to the variable. Try to do this:

$_SESSION['loggedin'] = true;
header("location:mainpage.php");
