How do check if a PHP session is empty?
I would use isset
and empty
:
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['blah']) && !empty($_SESSION['blah'])) {
echo 'Set and not empty, and no undefined index error!';
}
array_key_exists
is a nice alternative to using isset
to check for keys:
session_start();
if(array_key_exists('blah',$_SESSION) && !empty($_SESSION['blah'])) {
echo 'Set and not empty, and no undefined index error!';
}
Make sure you're calling session_start
before reading from or writing to the session array.
laravel how to check if session variable is empty
You can use
@elseif (session()->has('package_id'))
to verify if it's in session or in case it might be in session but also set to null, you can use:
@elseif (session()->get('package_id'))
Check if session exists in php
Use isset
function
function ifsessionExists(){
// check if session exists?
if(isset($_SESSION)){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
You can also use empty
function
function ifsessionExists(){
// check if session exists?
if(!empty($_SESSION)){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
Check if session is set or not, and if not create one?
session_id()
returns the string identifying the current session. If a session hasn't been initialized, it will return an empty string.
if(session_id())
{
// session has been started
}
else
{
// session has NOT been started
session_start();
}
Check if PHP session has already started
Recommended way for versions of PHP >= 5.4.0 , PHP 7, PHP 8
if (session_status() === PHP_SESSION_NONE) {
session_start();
}
Reference: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-status.php
For versions of PHP < 5.4.0
if(session_id() == '') {
session_start();
}
PHP Session variable is empty when it's not empty

add this code in you top header

Detect if PHP session exists
If $_SESSION
(or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS

to check a variable is registered in $_SESSION
.
isset($_SESSION['varname'])
