__construct issue

[Eggzorcist]

Hi, I'm fairly new to OOP so please bare with me.

 

I've been given to understand __construct is put forth in order to do that as soon as the object is created.

 

Now I've created an object to control sessions. so here is my construct code includes a function within that object and session_start().

 

However, I get the error that the function within that object is non-existent but the function is right underneath the __construct function. should I put __construct last thing in my object? ANy help on this issue would be excellent!

 

 

Thank you.

Post your code.

class Sessions {
public $logged_in = false;
protected $username;
protected $password;

function __construct(){
	session_start();
	check_login();
}

public function is_logged_in(){
	return $this->logged_in;
}

public function check_login(){
if(isset($_SESSION['browser']) && $_SESSION['browser'] == $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] && isset($_SESSION['ip']) && $_SESSION['ip'] == $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']){
	if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){
		$this->logged_in = true;
	} else {
		$this->logged_in = false;	
} 
} else {
	$this->logged_in = false;	
}
}

Because check_login() is a method of the instantiated object, it needs to be referenced by $this->.

 

So....

 

$this->check_login();
