[mapguide-users] How to check if session is expired?

[Jackie Ng]

Hi François

Thanks for the suggestion, I have since found out an easier way, to check
the length of MgSite.GetCurrentSession() as it will return an empty string
if expired.

But now when I try to access my map with this newly generated session id. I
get "Resource not found" errors. I thought that session resources would be
automatically created with the new session as stated in the API docs. (???)

I ask this question because I have actually tried bumping up the session
expiry time in the MapGuide Site admin, and it didn't seem to make any
difference :(

Hi Jackie,

You can catch the MgSessionExpiredException, this way :

try{
    //your code
}
catch (MgSessionExpiredException $e){
    echo "<em>Session expired</em>";
}

And of course, you can increase the delay before your session expires on the
"configure server" web page (MapGuide Site Administrator)

Regards,

F.
