User defined tag makes page turn white

[wournos]

Hi,

I am currently working on password protecting some of my site pages and found that I have to use User Defined Tags to be able to add PHP to my cms pages. I created a tag called pass_protect_files and added the following code:

Code: Select all

// starts sessionen
session_start();

// if there's no session with the right username or password, the login page is shown
if (!isset($_SESSION["login"]) || $_SESSION["login"] !== true) {
header("Location: /db_files/login.php");
exit;
}

// If the session exist, login was successful and the protected pages are shown

I used the tag (with squiggly brackets) and added it into the appropriate template. But when I preview the pages in the page menu they are all white. Why is that?

I am quite new to PHP and the cms so feel free to explain as if I were 10 years old.

I still need help with this. I have been through the Wiki but it doesn't help at all.
Anyone?

Why don't you use the FrontEndUsers and CustomContent modules?
They will accomplish what you want without the need for UDTs.
