Re: Checking if session has been started

Why not populate a session variable, in the page that starts the session, like : session_start(); session_register("valid_session"); $valid_session = true; Then in the page that you need to check, like: if ($session_valid) { // Do something since a session is already running } -- Gaylen gfraley5@earthlink.net http://www.gaylenandmargie.com PHP KISGB v1.2 Guestbook http://www.gaylenandmargie.com/publicscripts "Alexander Skwar" <ASkwar@DigitalProjects.com> wrote in message news:20010922170556.O11203@Garten.DigitalProjects.com... Hi I need to run some code if a session has been started. However, to do this, I need to figure out IF the session has been started at all. How can I do this? Is checking for the count of elements in HTTP_SESSION_VARS the only reliable way of doing this? Like so? <?php if (0 < count($HTTP_SESSION_VARS)){ // Do something since a session is already running } ?> Thanks, Alexander Skwar -- How to quote: http://learn.to/quote (german) http://quote.6x.to (english) Homepage: http://www.digitalprojects.com | http://www.iso-top.de iso-top.de - Die günstige Art an Linux Distributionen zu kommen Uptime: 3 days 3 hours 9 minutes
