Question

I want to check if a boolean is true or false from antoher phpscript.
Like if I have a boolean like this in one php script:

$signedin = false;

then I want to check if it is false or true by another php script in another file.
I hope someone can help me! 🙂

Thanks!

For checking the status of a signed in user, you’ll generally want to use sessions, like

<?php 
session_start();
// whatever code ...
$_SESSION['signedIn'] = true;

Then on any script, you’d just check that variable:

<?php
session_start(); 
$signedIn = $_SESSION['signedIn'];

To literally answer your question though, here:

scriptA.php

function checkSignedIn(){
    return ($signedIn === true);
}

scriptB

include_once('scriptA.php');
$signedIn = checkSignedIn();
