If I have 100 users logged in and one of them tries to log in again - how would I check this against the sessions already set?
Just my opinion but I odn't think checking sessions is the way to go. I assume that you are keeping user names and passwords in a database? If so just add a "is_logged_in" field to your users table. That way when someone tries to log in a second time you can tell that he is already logged in. Now the tricky part is if you want to *allow* a user to log in again *and* have session data that you want to carry over to the new log in ... To do that I think (just my guess) that you would have to write your own session handler that writes the session info to a database and then you can easily carry session info over from one log in to another.
