To set a cookie:
setcookie("name","cookie-value",time()+(3600*24*365));

name= name of cookie
cookie-value = whatever you want it to equal (dont put passwords in there)

to set a session (which would become a cookie if cookies enabled)
session_name(SESSION_NAME);
$value = $_SESSION['IS_LOGGED'];

SESSION_NAME = name of session (same as it would be in cookie)
IS_LOGGED = can be anything
$value is the PHP variable that can be checked on pages you want to see if it's been set, like so:
if(!isset($_SESSION['IS_LOGGED']))
{
Header("Location: login.php");
exit;
}

thanks for the advice. I got the payment redirect working.

but I still need help with members login access is there a code that will create a cookie that the restricted page will look for hence preventing access if not present and will redirect to the login page.

The payment center should offer redirect options shouldn't they?

you can set PHP up to use html extensions, so you can use (header: location.html) *before any screen output*
