In cases users not logged in may not see the whole page, I just:
if(not authentic){
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
/* or alternatively you could redirect to the/a login page :
header('Location: http://www.example.com/login.php'); */
exit;
}
//rest of code, which will not be displayed or run. No need for brackets
