Problem with ssi_login redirect...HELP!

[cbearhoney]

Has anyone seen this problem? I'm using ssi_login('myurl') to log in members into SMF and redirect to 'myurl'. This works, but when the member goes back to SMF index.php, it looks as if the member isn't logged in. Only after clicking on a topic or post does the member name show up.  How do I force SMF index to recognize the logged in member?  thanks for the help.

<?php
require("header.php");

<h1>Sign In using SMF </h1>

<?php 

ssi_login('http://www.myurl.com');

require("footer.php");

// Shows a login box.
function ssi_login($redirect_to = 'http://www.myurl.com', $output_method = 'echo')
{
global $scripturl, $txt, $user_info, $context;

if ($redirect_to != '')
$_SESSION['login_url'] = $redirect_to;

if ($output_method != 'echo' || !$user_info['is_guest'])
return $user_info['is_guest'];

echo '
