How To Tell If a Session Is New
How To Tell If a Session Is New? - PHP Script Tips - Understanding and Using Sessions
✍: FYIcenter.com
There is not direct way to tell if a session is new or old. But you can design your site to have a required session value in all sessions. Then you can check the existence of this value in a session to determine if it is a new session by isset($_SESSION['name']).
Let's say you decided to have a required session value called "Status" with two possible values: "Guest" and "Registered". The landing script of your site should look like:
<?php session_start(); if (!isset($_SESSION['Status'])) { $_SESSION["Status"] = "Guest"; print("<html><pre>"); print("Welcome to FYICenter.com!\n"); print(" <a href=login.php>Login</a>\n"); print(" <a href=guest_home.php>Stay as a guest</a>\n"); print("</pre></html>\n"); } else { if ($_SESSION["Status"] == "Guest") { header( 'Location: http://localhost/guest_home.php'); } else if ($_SESSION["Status"] == "Registered") { header( 'Location: http://localhost/home.php'); } } ?>
