Hello all, Another newbie question. I've spent several days hunting for a way to determine if a user has been authenticated or not from within layout.php
Reading the API (symfony 1.4) I thought one of the three boolean functions below would let me know if a user object is instantiated or not, but they don't. My goal is to check first and not call the get('user') function unless the user object has been instantiated. The 'if' tests below yield the same results regardless of whether or not I've logged in a user using the sfGuardPlugin. I'm in the wrong track it seems, but given that I'm attempting to execute this code from layout.php, not sure what the correct approach should be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I note that config shows "symfony/ user/sfUser/authenticated: true" and alternatively I've been trying to figure out how to access that info, but with no luck. Thanks -Michael if(sfContext::getInstance()->hasInstance('user')) fwrite ($file, "hasInstance\n"); if(sfContext::getInstance()->has('user')) fwrite ($file, "has\n"); if(sfContext::getInstance()->offsetExists('user')) fwrite ($file, "offsetExists\n"); $user = sfContext::getInstance()->get('user'); fwrite ($file, $user.": \n"); session: symfony/user/sfUser/attributes: { symfony/user/sfUser/attributes: { }, admin_module: { sfGuardUser.sort: [username, asc], sfGuardGroup.sort: [null, null], sfGuardPermission.sort: [null, null], student_class_standing.sort: [class_of_year, desc], payment_type.sort: [null, null], student.sort: [last_name, asc], transaction_receipt.sort: [paid_date, desc], student_fee.sort: [null, null], institution.sort: [null, null] }, symfony/user/sfUser/flash: { }, symfony/user/sfUser/flash/remove: { }, sfGuardSecurityUser: { user_id: '2' } } symfony/user/sfUser/authenticated: true symfony/user/sfUser/credentials: [admin_permission, frontoffice_permission, reports_permission, backoffice_permission] symfony/user/sfUser/culture: en symfony/user/sfUser/lastRequest: 1269561611 -- If you want to report a vulnerability issue on symfony, please send it to security at symfony-project.com You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "symfony users" group.
