How to verify if a user is logged in? - lexxtoronto - 04-20-2015 Im using a session database. I set some custom data in the session: Code: $sessiondata=array('username'=>$username, 'loginuser'=>TRUE); So I set username and loginuser, then enter these values in ci_sessions table matching the session_id so that it is for the same user. So login kinda works and the user is redirected to admin.php. What if I go to admin.php directly how do I verify if the user is logged in and is allowed to access admin.php? I want to match data against ci_sessions table. RE: How to verify if a user is logged in? - paju89 - 04-20-2015 (04-20-2015, 12:51 PM)lexxtoronto Wrote: Im using a session database.

So if user_name in session cookie is empty then....? RE: How to verify if a user is logged in? - silentium - 04-20-2015 Since you set both 'username' and 'loginuser' in your session, you can use both or either of them to check if the user is logged in. Here is a quick example using 'username' for the check PHP Code: // Check if username exists in session RE: How to verify if a user is logged in? - lexxtoronto - 04-20-2015 Thank you guys. RE: How to verify if a user is logged in? - RogerMore - 04-21-2015 Hey lexxtoronto, Are you still trying to update the ci_session table using $this->db->update('ci_sessions',$sessionData);? I would strongly advise to use the session methods, instead of using db methods. The only time I would use db methods directly on ci_sessions, is when I want to find out which sessions are active in for example the last half hour by retrieving all records with a certain timestamp. For all other session related stuff I would use the session methods... Happy coding! RE: How to verify if a user is logged in? - lexxtoronto - 04-22-2015 Hi RogerMore, not really, turns out CI does it automatically when you use a db table for sessions. If there is a valid session cookie then CI will check it against the db and if there is no match then it will destroy the session cookie and generate a new one. I thought I had to do it myself, CI is taking care of it for me!! Thank you anyway!
