I can see that argument, though it's just a one-liner on each page that needs it:
It's a little bit more processing server-side, but there's no extra HTTP transactions to do the re-directs. So depending on priorities and style preferences, I'm okay with either.
the logic behind
Hi guys. i was wondering if anyone could explain the logic behind the following program
a user who isnt logged in, requests a page. the page redirects to the login page and once logged in is redirected to the page he originally requested and not the default home page.

<i>
</i>if the user is logged in (e.g. user_id cookie is set, or however you want to do it) then
do nothing
else if a POST value is set indicating the login form was submitted then
if the submitted data is correct then
do nothing
else
display an error message
display/include the login form (see below)
exit; // so that nothing else gets processed
endif
else
display/include the login form (action="" so that it still uses this URL/page)
exit; // so that nothing else gets processed
endif
Then any page that requires the user be logged in can simply
require()0
