For whatever reason, girth you decided to reply to a thread which had little to do with your issue, so I split the topic.

If anyone cares to know the thread this was split from: Help Grouping Results of Array

well, you might want to have a login screen, and if they can't login they can't get through...

Why not use a cookie?
When a user is logged in, use [php_man]setcookie[/php_man]().
Then on the chat page, if the cookie variable doesn't exist, use

Code: Select all

<?php
header("location: login.php");
exit;
?>
to send them to the login page.

girth, before a LOT of people get in trouble, mark your Sig link NWS.. and might want to think about removing the WWW in your profile.. just to be safe..

Code: Select all

<?php
if (isset($_COOKIE['whatever'])) {

// display page

} else {

// refer to log-in page

}
?>
as said, when the user logs-in, set the cookie, in my above example I called it 'whatever'

for info on setcookie(), check out php.net

Ok thank you
