note 106773 deleted from function.session-status by tularis

Note Submitter: php dot net at kenman dot net Reason: useless ---- This is to provide for a sane way of handling the starting of a session without triggering the E_NOTICE complaining about a session having already been started ("Notice: A session had already been started - ignoring session_start()"). Consider: <?php // 1000's of lines of code, which may/may not have started a session session_start(); ?> *If* you've already started a session, then you'll get the infamous E_NOTICE. However, you can't really be sure that a session hasn't already been started before attempting to start one. Thus, the answer is: <?php // 1000's of lines of code, which may/may not have started a session if (session_status() == PHP_SESSION_NONE) { session_start(); } ?> See bug report @ https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52982 for more info.
