Usage Notes

edit

Using this function to check if a session variable exists, will create a session, if it doesn't already exist.

With Lucee 6.2, we have introduced SessionExists() which can be safely used to check if a session has been created

Examples

edit

Non-Member Function

animals = {
	cow: "moo",
	pig: "oink",
	cat: "meow",
	bird: "chirp"
};

// Check to see if key exists in struct
if (
	StructKeyExists(animals, "snail")
) {
	echo("There is a snail in 'animals'");
} else {
	echo("No snail exists in 'animals'");
}
