Hi vinay7868,

Do you mean you want to only allow logged in users to access a page?

Once a user has logged in, start a session and set a session variable.

session_start();
$_SESSION['username'] = "this_user";

At the start of any protected page, start the session again and check to see if $_SESSION['username'] exists, if not redirect to logout.php.

<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['username'])){
    header("Location: logout.php");
    exit();
}
?>
