[Solar-talk] Verifying Login Status

[Sean Montague]

Thanks, I am now really look forward this. To bring it full circle, and 
for any future reference for someone new to this, my logout script looks 
like:

public function actionIndex() {
    // Register a Solar_User object if not already.
    // This will trigger the authentication process.
    if (! Solar_Registry::exists('user')) {
        Solar_Registry::set('user', Solar::factory('Solar_User'));
    }
   
    $user = Solar_Registry::get('user');
    $user->auth->processLogout();
   
    // For testing, I check anyway
    if ($user->auth->isValid()) {
        // user is logged in
    } else {
        $this->output = "You have successfully signed out!";
    }
}
