    copied!<p>I'm trying to create a logout link that gets included into an authorized area.</p> <p>The authorized area looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require_once '../../includes/initialize.php'; if(!$Session-&gt;is_logged_in()) { redirect_to('login.php'); } $user = $User-&gt;find_by_id($Session-&gt;user_id); ?&gt; &lt;!-------------- START OF LOGOUT LINK --------------&gt; &lt;?php if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { $Session-&gt;logout($user); $Logger-&gt;logout($user); redirect_to('login.php'); } ?&gt; &lt;p style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="?logout=true"&gt;Logout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;!-------------- END OF LOGOUT LINK --------------&gt; &lt;p&gt;Welcome &lt;?php echo $user-&gt;first_name; ?&gt;, you are now logged into the admin area.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>The above code works just fine!</strong></p> <p>But when I change it so the logout link is an include, I get an error. This is what I put in my include file called logoutlink.php:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php if (isset($_GET['logout'])) { $Session-&gt;logout($user); $Logger-&gt;logout($user); redirect_to('login.php'); } ?&gt; &lt;p style="float: right;"&gt;&lt;a href="?logout=true"&gt;Logout&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>I then include it into my authorized area as such:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require_once '../../includes/initialize.php'; if(!$Session-&gt;is_logged_in()) { redirect_to('login.php'); } $user = $User-&gt;find_by_id($Session-&gt;user_id); ?&gt; &lt;!-------------- START OF LOGOUT LINK --------------&gt; &lt;?php include '../../includes/logoutlink.php'; ?&gt; &lt;!-------------- END OF LOGOUT LINK --------------&gt; &lt;p&gt;Welcome &lt;?php echo $user-&gt;first_name; ?&gt;, you are now logged into the admin area.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>I get the following errors:</p> <p><strong>Notice: Undefined variable: Session...</strong></p> <p>&amp;</p> <p><strong>Fatal error: Call to a member function logout() on a non-object in...</strong></p> <p>Can someone explain what I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help.</p>
