how do i make my entire site members only?

[SKANK!!!!!]

i made a registration script but i dont know how to make the whole website and all its directories protected please help.

simply set a userid or anything in session when login authentication is true..
and check that set value on every page of website

for example
u r checking authentication on a page..
if(authentication = true)
{
set something in session.
display content or redirect...(whatever you want)
}
on the start of every page check if the value is set or not..
if yes page should be displayed otherwise...redirected to login page..

You could try putting some code like this on every page?:

Or just run the whole site of a single page and use a $_GET variable (like yousite.com?page=home) to decide what page to show?
