Just had a little problem with the wordpress editor. I am working on a better login redirect, to redirect to the page that they were trying to go to. I don't think it infinite loops (the code is in use), I only call checkSession on pages where login is required. Sorry for the no tabs. Just had a little problem with the wordpress editor.

I'd also suggest a way to set a redirect in the login functionality. In checksession if there is no user session and the action requested wasn't the login /logout action or any others that would infinite loop set a session variable called redirect. Then on login use that variable for $this->redirect .... also proper tabbing would make this more readable ;) I know I’m paranoid but I allways NULL out sensitive information before creating a session ie:
