How do check if a PHP session is empty? [duplicate]

by

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.
