Hello Chad,

There are many ways to do this, and probably better ways then what I'm 
going to say..but here goes:

On each page, at the top, before you do any output do a login test:

<?php

function userIsLoggedIn($username)
{
    if ($username == $_SESSION['username']['loginBool'] == TRUE )
    { return TRUE; } else { return FALSE; }
}

if (!userIsLoggedIn($username))
{
    header("Location: index.php");
}
/* Otherwise we let them continue. */

That's really just some pseudo code.
