Restrict Page to Specific Session ID

I wrote a simple login system and that is working. I've set up a few pages that are only viewable when logged in. I want to restrict a page to specific session IDs. How would I go about doing that? This is what I'm using to restrict pages right now: 

<?php
session_start();
 if (!isset($_SESSION['u_id'])) {
 header("Location: ../index.php?index=mustlogin");
 exit();
}
?>

How would I restrict this from any u_id to a specific u_id?

You need to match your $_SESSION['uid'] with your specific id. For that you need some kind of data for specific user id. There are multiple approach to do this but I would do this with array. What you need is an array of your specific ids

 //Should've come from database of your users
      $specific= array(
        "id" => 1 
    );

And then just search in array through in_array()

if (!in_array($_SESSION['u_id'], $specific)) {
     header("Location: ../index.php?index=mustlogin");
     exit();
}

You can create an array of specific ids and then use in_array to validate user.

Example

<?php
session_start();
$sessionIds = array('1','2'); //for example i have inserted 1 and 2 as ids
 if (!isset($_SESSION['u_id']) || in_array($_SESSION['u_id'], $sessionIds))  {
 header("Location: ../index.php?index=mustlogin");
 exit();
}

Explanation

Here i created an array $sessionIds of specific ids that will not allow to access page. then cheking with in_array that current session user id exist in $sessionIds array then redirect to user.
