try something similar to this
use a login page which passes the variables $password and $fullname from a form, send it to loginfuction.php
this is loginfuction.php, put it in your functions folder
on every memberspage add this code
create protector.php and place it in the members directory
----------------------------------------
Sometimes, when my code just won't behave, I take it outside and make it listen to britney spears music, and when it comes back it's really well behaved. I wonder if it's suffering from post tramatic stress syndrome now..

opps, the last bit of code header location- I didn't edit, you need to put your domain name etc instead of my testing one.
also the error messages.
in the very top of your index.php (where you are sending people if they fail to log in properly) before you even start the <html> tag put
then put the echo of the error text wherever you want it to appear within the body of your page
