I have created two pages , one is index.php and admin.php . In the first page or index.php , i have created a loggin form so that i can access the admin.php page trough the loggin or like this enter image description here
Now by logging in i go to admin.php page. Here is the question what i want to ask about that now when ever i click the back button or next button in the chrome. I am returning to the admin.php page . I have tryed the session_start() and the if(!isset($password) || !isset($user)){}. But this code for obvious reasons doesnt work . So can someone help me out with this ?
The code for the example is here index.php
<?php
session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<title>Admin</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="reset.php">Reset</a>
<div class="image">
<img src="img/adi.png" alt="image"> <!-- image -->
</div>
<form action="inc/login.php" method="POST"><br>
<p class="title">Log In</p>
<label for="Username">User :</label>
<input type="text" name="username" id="user"> <br> <!--username -->
<label for="Password">Password :</label>
<input type="password" name="password" id="password" ><br><br> <!-- password -->
<label for="showpassword" class="showpassword">Show Password</label>
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" id="chk" ><br><br> <!-- checkbox -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Log in" > <!-- enter -->
</form>
<?php
if(!isset($_GET['Login'])){
exit();
}else{
$check=$_GET['Login'];
if($check=="userEmpty"){
echo "<p class='class_login'>user is empty</p> ";
}elseif($check=="passwordEmpty"){
echo "<p class='class_login'>password is empty</p> ";
}elseif($check=="wrongUser"){
echo "<p class='class_login'>user is wrong</p> ";
}elseif($check=="Password"){
echo "<p class='class_login'>password is wrong</p> ";
};
} ;
?>
<script src="js/main.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
and the code for the admin.php is this one :
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($username) || !isset($password)){
header("location:index.php?data=closed");
exit();
}
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<script>
window.history.forward();
</script>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="top">
<a href="inc/logout.php">Log Out</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Answer
Besides using of session_start
you need to store something in the session, using something like this:
$_SESSION['userId'] = <value>;
which must be set in your login.php
and checked by your admin.php
if user has access rigths to visit secured page. I.e. you need to check:
if (isset($_SESSION['userId']) && $_SESSION['userId'] == <value>) {
// access granted
}
