session_status() keeps returning 1 (PHP_SESSION_NONE) every time I visit localhost page. I know storing variables, session_start() and session_destroy() work because of the files in c:\xamp\tmp (defined in php.ini)

But why doesnt it register as session in code?

if (session_status() === PHP_SESSION_NONE) {
    session_start();
    echo session_status();
} else{
    echo "active";
}

Any help would be appreciated, thank you

    [Did you read the manual on `session_status()`?](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-status.php). – Funk Forty Niner Feb 05 '20 at 20:04

    Unless you have `session_start` somewhere before the `if` then how would it be active? – AbraCadaver Feb 05 '20 at 20:11
  • Ohh - I did read it before, but I guess I didnt understand it :/ I was banging my head for an hour with that. Having a slow day Thank you. For some reason I thought php does it automatically when it receives phpid – djulb Feb 05 '20 at 20:15

we mostly use isset for condition on session variable 

if(isset($_SESSION['var'])){
    echo "Welcome". $_SESSION['var'];
}
