how to get logged_in session status in native php - starchild - 06-15-2020
We have a mix of CI-3 and plain PHP, and want to be able to identify if a user is logged in via CI, so that we can display certain content.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.

Hi,
This is the code I used in some of my project:
update your CI index.php:
PHP Code:
//$system_path = 'system';
$system_path = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'system';
//$application_folder = 'application';
$application_folder = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'application';
In your non CI PHP code
Code:
//relative path to CI index.php
include('../../../index.php');
ob_end_clean();
$CI =& get_instance();
$CI->load->driver('session');
//this this index I set with $this->session->set_userdata()
if(@$_SESSION['logged_in'] != TRUE){
redirect(BASE_URL);

@starchild,
There are many ways to track that information. I'll give you another example. I track when users log into my app. I put the date, time, userid and activity id(001 - Log In, 002 - Log Out, etc) into a audit table that tracks user app usage. I'm then able to pull which users are logged into the app and I have information for future statistical purposes as well.
