There is no question to ask, other than why has noone implemented this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-03 08:29:49] sniper@php.net This is still session related. Ask on php-general@lists.php.net as this is not bug. The PHP manual also has lot information about how sessions are supposed to be used. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-02 16:33:31] adam@adeptsoftware.com Is anybody looking at these? Moved from session category due to lack of response ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-29 13:25:38] adam@adeptsoftware.com There is no way, that I can see, of knowing if a session exists before starting it. I am trying to destroy a session, but only if it already exists. If it doesn't, I basically have to create it then destroy it. The problem, besides this being lame, is the browser can pop up a box asking the user if they want to accept a session cookie, when I am not even trying to start a session. It might be better if session_destroy just didn't require the session to be started. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16349&edit=1
