I'm using the ImpAkt extension, and
I'm trying to restrict access to a page depending on the value of a session variable.
I have the value being read from the database on login, it's a yes/no field. I want to only allow acces to the page if Pub = "Y".
Any Ideas?

Try:-

<?php
if ($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["SessionVariableName"] != "Yes" {
header("Location: invalidlogin.php";
}
?>

Thanks for the response, and that seems as though it's just what I need, but I still have a question. I'm using Impakt, and can't figure out how to define a database query result as a session variable. To use your example above, I can't figure out how to define "SessionVariableName" as data from the database. Everything works fine if I hard code the value in.
Please HELP!!!

OK, I understand you dilemma.

You are part way there if you can hard code a value to the session variable. The way to set a session variable with the value of a recordset column is only one more step. You will need to do something like this :-

&lt;?php
if (!session_is_registered("SessionVariableName") {
session_register("SessionVariableName";
}
$SessionVariableName = $RecordsetName-&gt;Fields("ColumnName";
?&gt;

Hope this helps <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
