Why is this page allowing access?

Have set up a log in page to admin back end pages, which is based on useremail and user password. that works fine. the "home" page for the users is teamhome.php. this page uses the session value TeamID, to populate the right club info.

i added a Restrict Access To Page behaviour and set up a rule called login2016. my rules were session value useremail = recordset value "email" and session value password = recordset field "password".

But if i try and access teampage.php without logging in it grants me access. it doesnt populate and club info as there is no session value, but i want it top refer me to the login page. what am i doing wrong?

have zipped what i guess are appropriate pages. thanks guys

You can't refer to recordset values directly in security rules. They will be out of scope... also if both the Session variable and Recordset value don't exist, they will match and access will be granted.

The solution is probably to just verify the TeamID session variable exists as the rule.

Just use:

value: <?php echo($_SESSION['TeamID']); ?>
comparison: <>
compare to:

keep compare to blank and it will only allow access if the session variable TeamID has a value
