Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52982&edit=1 ID: 52982 Updated by: kalle@php.net Reported by: php dot net at kenman dot net Summary: Expose php_session_active to userland via new function (patch included) -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Session related PHP Version: 5.3.3 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: kalle Block user comment: N New Comment: If we are going to expose php_session_active, we might aswell expose the other values. I will cook up a patch and apply it to trunk shortly Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-10-04 04:45:37] php dot net at kenman dot net Description: ------------ Attempting to start a session after a session has already been started raises an E_NOTICE, however, there is no sane way to check if a session has already been started. The only ways that I could devise were using the shut-up op (@) or by creating wrapper functions around all of the session functions. This is extreme because there exists in the PHP source, code which can do this; my patch exposes this code for userland comsumption. More info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3788369/how-to-tell-if-a-session-is-active Test script: --------------- session_start(); // 1000's of lines of code, which may/may not have closed the session session_start(); // how to tell if a session is active here? Expected result: ---------------- Should be able to ask PHP whether or not it knows of an active session. Actual result: -------------- Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52982&edit=1
