James - Don't know how you're working with Cookies and sessions for sure, but the default / "easy" way to check for an established session is to put "session_start();" at the top of every page that's going to access the session variables. That will check for an established/open session and make the registered session variables accessible to the page.
Then a logical check is as simple as using "session_is_registered()" like this: if (session_is_registered("registered_variable_name")) //do something here if the person has already registered their session else //session not registered!
