php redirecting after password approved

[estrellas]

Hey guys - I'm trying to make it where users can sign into my database and then if their password is approved, they'll be sent to another page. here's the login script i'm using

<?php

//this initiates a session
session_start();

//see if there is a cookie that is both logged in the session we are in
if($_COOKIE['logedin'] == 'yes' || $_SESSION['logedin'] == 'yes') {

    //if the cookie is there or the session is logged in , then include the header login.php
	header("Location: login.php");

	//exit successfully
	exit();
}

// If the form was submited check if the username and password match
if($_POST['Submit']){
	
	//assign a variable to the username the user input
	$username = $_POST['user'];

	//assign a password to the username the user input
	$password = $_POST['pass'];
	
if ($username=="user" && $password=="pass"){
		// If username and password is right , store the session in a cookie
		setcookie ('logedin', 'Admin Access',time()+30000); // Set the length of the cookie to 30000
		
		//Create the Session id's (as many as you want, can also do the same with cookied)
		$_SESSION['logedin'] = ' Admin Access';
		
		//close the database
		@mysql_close();
		
		// Redirect to the page
		header("Location: /admin/insert.php");
		
		//exit successfully
		exit();

	} else {
	
		//print this to the screen
		$error = 'Password and/or Username Not Valid, Please Try Again!';
		
		//close the database
		@mysql_close();
	}
}

?>

the rest of the page contains the html stuff to connect .. here it is

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post" name="adminlogin" id="adminlogin">
  <table width="30%" border="5" align="left" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
    <tr bgcolor="#000000"> 
      <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong>PLEASE 
          LOG IN:</strong></font></div></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td width="47%"><strong>Username:</strong></td>
      <td width="53%"><input name="user" type="text" id="user" ></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td><strong>Password:</strong></td>
      <td><input name="pass" type="password" id="pass" ></td>
    </tr>
    <tr> 
      <td colspan="2"><div align="center"><strong>
          <input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit"  value="Click Here To Sign-In">
          </strong> </div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
  <table width="60%" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr> 
      <td height="50"><div align="center"><strong><font color="#FF0000"><?php echo $error; ?></font></strong></div></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

now after the person pushes Sign In, i want it to take them to /admin/insert.php. this isn't working for some reason. i have this header included at the top of every page i want to be password checked too...

<?php

//this information is so everyone doesn't have access to changing records
if($_SESSION['logedin'] != 'Admin Access' || $_SESSION['logedin'] != 'Admin Access'){

header("Location: /anss/station_info/login.php"); 

exit(); 

} ?

do you have any ideas on how I can get these pages to redirect. currently when i type in the correct name/password, all that happens is that the page stays at login.php

thanks much in advance
cheers!

1. Are you sure you mean this:
If there is the cookie set to logedin or the session go to login.php?

if($_COOKIE['logedin'] == 'yes' || $_SESSION['logedin'] == 'yes') {

    //if the cookie is there or the session is logged in , then include the header login.php
    header("Location: login.php");

    //exit successfully
    exit();
}

2. This is twice the same:

//this information is so everyone doesn't have access to changing records
if($_SESSION['logedin'] != 'Admin Access' || $_SESSION['logedin'] != 'Admin Access'){

Did you mean one of them to be $_COOKIE?
Also consider the logical OR operator. If either one fails it will redirect.
