Checking if session exists doesn't work

<!DOCTYPE html>
<?php
session_start();
?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

<body>
<div class="container">
    <div class="menu">
        <a href="index.html"><div class="item">Home</div></a>
        <a href="team.html"><div class="item">The Team</div></a>

        <a href="recruitment.html"><div class="item">Recruitment</div></a>
        <a href="store.php"><div class="item">Design Store</div></a>
    </div>
    <div class="logo">
        <img src="logo.png" alt="">
    </div>
    <div class="article">
<?php
if($_SESSION['admin']):
?>
<h2>Test</h2>
<?php
else:
?>
<form action="view.php" method="post">
<input type="password" name="password" class="sharp">
<input type="submit" class="button" value="Login">
</form>
<?php
if($_POST['password'] == 'luridpls')
$_SESSION['admin'] = 'logged';
else echo "Wrong Password!";
endif;
?>
    </div>
    <div class="footer">
        (C) eRa Design - 2014<br>
        <em>Designed by ShowTime</em>
    </div>
</div>
</body>

The code above is supposed to be a secure page, which will use sessions. The problem is when the login is processed, it checks wether the password is good or not, but doesn't set the session (that or my if condition is broken).

Any ideas ? :/

php session_start(); has to be invoked before everything else, so place it before html element.

to check whether session exists or not you need to use isset() So

change

if($_SESSION['admin'])

to 

if(isset($_SESSION['admin']))
