Checking session

[cfgcjm]

I'm trying to check if a session is started and no matter what, each time it echos:"session just started"

 

<?PHP
if(!isset($_SESSION))
{
session_start();
echo'session just started';
}
else{
echo'session already started';
}
?>

Because you need to use session_start() to access $_SESSION in the first place.  Try:

 

<?php
session_start();
if ($_SESSION['started']) {
  echo "Session already started.";
}
else {
  $_SESSION['started'] = true;
  echo "Session just started.";
}
?>

Not technically if session.auto_start = 1 then the session_start() happens without it

It's still calling session_start() behind the scenes.  What was the point of bringing that up? o-O
