Hi, how do i add and if ($_SESSION['username']) to the code below so that it only lets users in if they have the correct area session registered and have a username session registered aswell. I keep getting errors

Thanks for any help

Bne

$area_check="area300";
if ($_SESSION['area']!=$area_check){
header ("Location: login.php");
exit();
} else {}

you need to start the session (session_start()) before testing the session variables.

reply yea sorry just posted fragment of the code here is the full piece

<?
// checks that user is logged in
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private"); 

$area_check="area300";
if ($_SESSION['area']!=$area_check){
header ("Location: login.php");
exit();
} else {}
?>

[benluke4]

hi there ,
how do I save data from a html form to a txt file and where does the php fits in all that

I can't hardly imagine a question more broad than the one you asked. You should consider reading up on the basic concepts in the PHP manual or on tutorial sites. If you come up with a more specific technical question after that you'll probably get good answers.
Your last question was a good one. This one - bad.
