auth_redirect()

Checks if a user is logged in, if not it redirects them to the login page.


Description Description

When this code is called from a page, it checks to see if the user viewing the page is logged in. If the user is not logged in, they are redirected to the login page. The user is redirected in such a way that, upon logging in, they will be sent directly to the page they were originally trying to access.
