Redirect Not Logged-in User in PHP

Imagine you have a page which you want accessible by admin or logged-in user.
You need redirect not Logged in users, if they directly access page’s url. there is a simple trick to that.

After user logged-in, add session:


<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['loggedin'] = 1;
?>

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['loggedin'] = 1;

and add this code to any pages you want only accessible bu user or admin:


<?php
<?php
session_start();
if( $_SESSION['loggedin'] != 1 ) { 
	header('Location: /register.php'); 
	exit; 
}
?>

<?php

session_start();

if( $_SESSION['loggedin'] != 1 ) {

header('Location: /register.php');

exit;

}

So every time users check that page, php search for that session, and if its not exist, redirect user to other pages like registration page, home or login page.
