19,416 PointsForcing user to log in
I have created a login page (login.php) and a home page (index.html). The login page makes a query to the database and it seems to be working properly. However I want the user on the client side to only be able to reach the home page if (s)he has logged in. I could rename the login page to index.php and redirect the user from there, but that doesent stop anyone from just typing the absolute path to the home page. So what I want is whenever a user tries to reach the index.php site, to check if he or she is logged in, and if not redirect the user back to the login page.
