Well what this code is supposed to do is create a session when you log in successfully. Then direct you to the member page. Which it does ok. Then when you click logout it destroys the session. My code should, if you are not logged in and go to the member page redirect you, but it doesn't. And then if you are logged in and you go to the index page it should redirect you to the member page! But it doesn't. What is wrong with my code?

Index.php:

<?php
session_start();
	if(session_is_registered(myusername)){
			header("Location: member.php");
			}

?>

Thanks for any help in advanced!

Are you coding for a server that only has PHP 4.x or lower. Use of function like session_register() have been deprecated in favor of using the $_SESSION super-global.

Also, add a die() statement after your redirects. This prevents php from continuing to execute the script after the header is sent. I've encountered problems with recent versions of Internet explorer when using relative URLs in a location header (redirect.) Try it with fully qualified URLs if you are having this problem in IE 8 or 9.
