Sorry bout that little mistake. You right I mean to check to see if
$_SESSION['loggedin'] == "yes"; That doesn't make a difference as it
turns out. The reason that I immediately change this is that I want the
content of the page to change, and in order to do that I want to stop it
from going into this code? Actually I am not going to do this, I will
use another variable, but by setting $_SESSION['loggedin'] to 'no' it
should not go into this test, but it somehow does? Is it to do with the
link:
<a href=\"index.php?action=edit\">
does this call the script again, just as an action="script.php" in a
form would? Cheers for the help on this.
