I've always done somthing like this:

At the begining of your secure scripts
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Start the sesion
session_start();

// Check for login
if(!isset($_SESSION["IDUser"])){
$page = urlencode($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]);
exit("<script>window.location.href='login.php?page=$page</script>");
}

// Secured code goes here
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


On your login.php page
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
// Code used to authenticate

// On authentication, go to passed page
exit("<script>window.location.href='".$_GET["post"]."'</script>");
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
