Can anyone tell me how to direct unregistered users who try to acess the inner pages back to the home page along with a error message telling them to please login to view the pages in PHP

You can accompish this by registering your logged-in users in a cookie or the session array and redirecting anyone who is not registered in there. The most basic approach to this is:
- start each of your scripts with the PHP session_start() command
when the user has logged in successfully, register his name in the $_SESSION array, e.g.
[php]$_SESSION['username']=$user;[/php]
- at each page, check if the user is registered by checking the $_SESSION array, if not, redirect the user to the login script:
[php]if (!isset($_SESSI ON['username']))
header('Locatio n: logon.php');
else
.. continue processing ..[/php]
