I usually do things like that without a login page but by including the
login form into every page that requires login:
<?php
$logged = false;
if(isset($_POST['login'])) {
if([check for correct username and password here]) {
[write cookie here];
$logged = true;
}
else {
$message = "Incorrect login, try again!";
$logged = false;
}
}
else if([check for cookie]) {
$logged = true;
}
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
[put navigation or whatever comes before the contents here]
<div id="contents">
<?php
if(!$logged) {
if(isset($message)) echo "<p><strong>".$message."</strong></p>";
include("myloginform.php");
}
else {
?>
[put page contents here]
<?php
}
?>
</div>
[put footer or whatever comes after the contents here]
</body>
</html>
Like that you don't have redirection problems, and the user that does not
have access to the protected area will not be taken out of his navigation
flow.
