    Redirection

    I'm trying to use redirection to secure certain pages on my site. The
    theory is to check to see if a user is "logged in" at the top of a
    page, and if not, redirect them to a login page.

    A typical web page will look like this:

    <!--#include virtual="secure .php"-->
    <html>
    <body>
    <p>Secure Content Here</p>
    </body>
    </html>

    The secure.php file looks like this:

    <?
    session_start() ;

    $schema = $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == '443' ? 'https' : 'http';

    // Check to see if the user is logged in.
    if (! isset($_SESSION["userid"]))
    {
    header("Locatio n: " . $schema .
    exit();
    }

    ?>

    This all works fine in ASP. In PHP, however, I can't seem to get the
    redirect to work. If I just type the secure.php URL directly into the
    browser's address bar, it will redirect properly. If I call the page
    I want to secure (either with a .html or a .php extension), it just
    seems to ignore the redirect.

    Any idea why?

      If the page you want to secure is a .php, you need only use:

      include("secure .php");

          That was the issue. It was a .html page, not a .php page. ASP (or
          more accurately, IIS) will allow you to do this, but apparently PHP
          and/or Apache won't.

          I ended up figuring out exactly what you suggested, and it worked.

          Thanks for the response.
