doubledee Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 If one file includes another, do I need to start a session in each, or does the included file "inherit" the session? script_1.php // Initialize Session. session_start(); // Require Function require_once('script_2.php'); script_2.php // Initialize Session. session_start(); DO I NEED THIS HERE????????? if ($_SESSION['loggedIn'] == TRUE){ do something } Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
requinix Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It "inherits". The reality is that PHP keeps executing from where it left off - nothing changes, nothing resets, nothing goes away. It's basically the same as copy/pasting the code from script_2 into script_1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I start a session in the "including" script, then the "included" script is just plopped into the "including" script and it is like it is all one large master file playing together nicely, right?
