Answer 1

Include a file at the top of every file that should be blocked that contains something like:

<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['user_id']) && $_SESSION['user_id']) {
    header('Location: user.php?id=' . $_SESSION['user_id']); 
    exit;
}

This will redirect the user to user.php everytime they try to visit another file.

Edit: And don't forget to use session_start() at the beginning of every request.

Answer 2

Your code looks bad.
session_register("myusername"); - This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 5.3.0. Move your database config to another file.

$host="localhost"; // Host name
$username="******"; // Mysql username
$password="*******"; // Mysql password
$db_name="medpro_test"; // Database name
$tbl_name="members"; // Table name

Use header location http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php to move user to the link.

1. you need to get rid of your current PHP book and find yourself a modern one, at least published in the current century.
2. Then rewrite your session code according to manual
3. then use session_set_cookie_params() to set up a session domain.
