First - that means that if the session isn't needed it isn't loaded which can be good for performance and some security things, IIRC. Second - whenever you first call the service, or use the the service() helper method, the session will be automatically initialized and ready for use.

Code:

// These all ensure session is initialized:
$session = \Config\Services::Session();
session('key');
session()->get('key');
session()->set('key', $value);

Code:

To access and initialize the session:

$session = \Config\Services::session($config);

Am I supposed to put this code in the constructor of every Controller class where I need to manipulate session data?

I found that I can also use start session using this helper

Code:

session()->start();

but again I need to declare that in all files before I can use session.

I need to know the same for db and custom common functions helper file.

$db = \Config\Database::connect();

All I am trying to find out if I should be placing these in a common file? Or perhaps, declaring in each file is the suggested practice???

Other controller:

PHP Code:

public function __construct(){
 //parent::__construct();
 //establezco la zona horario par El Salvador
 date_default_timezone_set('America/El_Salvador');
 //comprobamos si el usuario está logueado
 
 $this->sesion = session();
 if($this->sesion->chequear != true)
 {
 //si no estoy logueado que me envie a index
 return redirect()->to(base_url());
 }
 
 
 } 


Any idea why that happens?

If calling that causes an error you must figure out why and fix it.
