Sessions are stored in the $_SESSION array. A simple check would be:
if ($_SESSION['user_id'] == "" || is_null($_SESSION['user_id']))
redirect_to_index_function();
Where 'user_id' is, that would be the name of the session you created.
Just insert that at the top of each page (might be best suited in an include
file).
