Hi, I´m trying to make a simple login script.
I have a page that only select people can have access to. There is no registration (I register them and add them to the database directly).

On my page, there are should be "hidden" menus and buttons that only members can access.
IF the user is not logged in (checked via cookie maybe) the login form should appear. Else (if user is logged in) the extra menus/buttons are showing.

php.about.com (login 1 and 2), but I get a header error! I just don´t know how headers work

I was just hoping to find a login script that:
1. Checks on each page if user is logged in
2. If logged in = show menu/buttons
3. If not logged in = show login form
4. Simple login form that adds cookie to users computer

A simple IF/ELSE could be used to show login or menu/buttons:
Like when a user is signed in, to show a button:

I was hoping to do the same with the menus:

If user is not signed in (after IF statement):
.

Could anybody help me out?
