What are some common pitfalls to avoid when setting up a Wartungsmodus Panel in PHP?

One common pitfall to avoid when setting up a Wartungsmodus Panel in PHP is forgetting to properly handle user authentication. It is important to ensure that only authorized users have access to the panel to prevent unauthorized users from making changes to the website. Implementing user authentication using sessions or other methods can help secure the panel.

// Check if user is authenticated before allowing access to the Wartungsmodus Panel
session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['authenticated']) || $_SESSION['authenticated'] !== true) {
    // Redirect to login page or display an error message
    header('Location: login.php');
    exit();
}
