Test if session is started

Question

How do you test to see if sessions are on. This is not the way...

session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION)) {
    echo "sessions ON<br>";
}
else{
    echo "sessions OFF<br>";
}

session_destroy();
if(isset($_SESSION)) {
    echo "sessions ON<br>";
}
else{
    echo "sessions OFF<br>";
}

Answer 1

Try this:

if(session_id())

Answer 2

session_start() itself will return boolean TRUE if the session was started successfully, boolean FALSE if not.
