Session best practice question

[quote author="Rick Jolly" date="1193438518"]I'd put that in the controller constructors instead of in the view. To avoid repetition, you could create an application/base controller with that code in its constructor and extend it for all pages that require a login.[/quote]

Hi Rick,

That makes sense, thanks. And sorry if this is a noob question, but would you mind clarifying what you mean by creating and extending a base controller?

Thanks!
