    Default Control display by session/cookies

    hey guys

    I'm using php to design this web site, however, i want to control areas of the site base on whether or not the user is a guest or a member.

    I have a shopping area where only member should get on to it, visitors will only be able to browse available products.

    Does any body have any ideas where I can find resources that does this, or give me a woking example of this being done.

    you could check out phpfreaks.com but i mean when you think of it logically its not that difficult, its all about session verification header codes, you need to design a redirection script that will check the session variable state

    {say you stored the "registered" in a session variable called $_SESSION['userstate'] if the user is successfuly logged in and "guest" as default}

    now you should have a script that checks at the top of the page to see the content of the $_SESSION['userstate'] and act accordingly "you could call a page that displays "only for registered users" or you could use a redirection and redirect the browser to a different part of the site. the choice is yours.

    hope i shed some light on the matter.
