Get data of a foreign session

posted 11 years ago

Hi everybody,

just a hopefully short question: For a project we have several modules, old ones (coded in native OOP PHP) and new ones like features and so on. I like to develop the new ones with Laravel, but the problem is, that authentication is handled by the old stuff via sessions.

The question is: Is it possible to get (the old) sessions data when you know the session id in Laravel? I dont't want the user to log in twice. So My (Laravel) module needs information about the login status, stored in a session.

From the docs, why not check if a user is authenticated (logged in) using this:

if (Auth::check())
{
    // The user is logged in...
}

Hey Martijn,

thanks for the quick response. I know, that it is possible to check Laravel related Logins this way, but as I tried to explain, the session data is not stored by Laravel, but in the way of $_SESSION['loggedin'] = 1; The question is, how I can get information about that foreign data.
