require logged in

[pearible]

Hello all - I'm trying to require that users be logged in in order for the links to work - I've seen some examples here already, and have some pages on my site already logged-in/protected, but I can't seem to get this to work.

When adding the appropriate code, it re-directs me to log in... even if I *AM* logged in. There's simply no circumstance where it lets me proceed.

Here's what I'm using on other pages...

Code:

<?php

$reqAgcID = $_REQUEST['reqAgcID'];
if(!isset($_SESSION['memberid']) || ($_SESSION['memberid'] == ''))
   {
     header("Location:login.php?msg=logfirst");
 exit;
   }

And tried using on download.php

Any help?

How/where is the $_SESSION['memberid'] var being created? I'd say the session is not being created or has no value. What outputs when you try to echo the value of $_SESSION['memberid'] on the download.php page? IE just do something like this at the top of download.php

Code:

<?php echo "value of memberid= ".$_SESSION['memberid']; exit(); ?>

If it doesn't output a value, then there's your problem. To share your sessions between pages, session_start(); is required before referencing your session variables and resuming the current session.

Try changing your code to this:

Code:

<?php

session_start();
$reqAgcID = $_REQUEST['reqAgcID'];
if(!isset($_SESSION['memberid']) || ($_SESSION['memberid'] == ''))
   {
     header("Location:login.php?msg=logfirst");
 exit;
   }

Note: I left the PHP tag open like in your example.
