User logged in

[jaymc]

I have wrote quite a lot of user login applications however I would like to double check something with some of the great minds

 

to validate whether a member is logged in (hence has access to membership pages) I have always used the below code

 

if (!isset($_SESSION['memberID'])) {
die('Please login');
}

 

That seems good to me based on the only way $_SESSION['memberID'] can be set is by going through the login process which of course requires valid username/password

 

Is that how you guys do it? Is my way safe?
