When i make a request from ajax in response i need to send 401 (Not Authorized) status when user is not logged in.
I am using OOP Concepts with MVC Framework. So my construct function is following
function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$request = apache_request_headers();
if(isset($request['X-Requested-With']) && $request['X-Requested-With'] == 'XMLHttpRequest')
{
$this->user = General::getUser(false);
}
else
{
$this->user = General::getUser();
}
}
General::getUser();
is defined in my another class that check session and return login-ed user info.
Now when i make a ajax request and user is not logged in i want to send http status 401. But how i can as i can't use return in construct.
So what next procedure i need to follow to do this. I want to return it from __construct
because i dont want that i check $this->user
in my calling function and then echo some result.
Please suggest and tell if i am doing something wrong.
