Easy way to check session

Please post initialize() function.

ControllerBase.php

use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller; class IndexController extends Controller {

}

Other_Controllers.php

class IndexController extends ControllerBase {

}

I think the above snippet is correct.

use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller;
class ControllerBase extends Controller
{
    protected function initialize()
    {
          if(!$session->has('auth')) {
                // assuming that auth param is initialized after login
                $this->flash->error('Please login into the application');
                // then redirect to your login page
    }
}

For automatic process like ACL check I prefer to use beforeExecuteRoute instead of initialize

public function beforeExecuteRoute(Dispatcher $dispatcher)
{
    // ACL check or ...
}

To add beforeExecuteRoute inside ControllerBase ? Please clarify

Here is my implementation in simple app without ACL:

abstract class SecureController extends Controller
{
    public function beforeExecuteRoute(\Phalcon\Mvc\Dispatcher $dispatcher)
    {
        if (false === $this->auth->isLogged()) {
            if ($this->auth->hasRememberMe()) {
                $this->auth->loginWithRememberMe();
            } else {
                throw new AccessDeniedException();
            }
        }
    }
}

you can change throw exception to redirect to login page

I am new to advanced PHP and Palcon. So I can't fully understand the code. Anyway thanks everyone for fast help. The community as fast as Phalcon.

I try le51s code I am getting the following error..

PHP Notice: Undefined variable: session in ......\IndexController.php on line 8

You should add Session Adapter to your applicaion DI for example for File adapter: otherwise it can`t be accessible in your MVC controllers by default.

        // Session
        $di->setShared('session', function() {
            $session = new Phalcon\Session\Adapter\Files();
            $session->start();
            return $session;
        });
