You can’t count on that method working in the future and it might not work in all cases. I would use the recommended public function:

public function hasSessionContext($context) {
        $hasContext= false;
        if ($this->getSessionContexts()) {
            $contextTokens= array ();
            if (is_array($context)) {
                foreach ($context as $ctx) {
                    $contextTokens[$ctx]= $this->get('id');
                }
            }
            elseif (is_string($context)) {
                $contextTokens[$context]= $this->get('id');
            }
            $hasContext= (count(array_intersect_assoc($contextTokens, $this->sessionContexts)) == count($contextTokens));
        }
        return $hasContext;
    }

Is there a way to ensure that the user has been logged in from a custom and independent/custon php script?

Here’s the session data being passed in:

    [__utmz] => 242157571.1280079143.1.1.utmcsr=(direct)|utmccn=(direct)|utmcmd=(none)
    [modx_setup_language] => en
    [ys-modx-tree-action] => s:/n_root_0/n_namespace_brothers/n_action_76
    [ys-modx-resource-tree] => s:/root/web_0/web_22
    [ys-modx-leftbar-state] => o:activeTab=n%3A1
    [ys-modx-element-tree] => s:/root/n_type_template/n_template_element_1_0
    [PHPSESSID] => btma08n15j1c1kj20vi6kkekg0
    [__utma] => 242157571.1284413755.1280079143.1282627617.1282655759.20
    [__utmc] => 242157571
    [__utmb] => 242157571.15.10.1282655759

I’m creating a /proc folder with a custom .php file, independent of Modx but still managing site data. I do this to attempt to keep things simple. I figure I should ask -- Is there a good & advantageous way to integrate this cleanly with MODx?

Thanks

I think you could add this to the top of the code and use hasSessionContext as described above:

define('MODX_CORE_PATH', 'c:/xampp/htdocs/addons/core/');
define('MODX_CONFIG_KEY', 'config');
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH . 'model/modx/modx.class.php';
$modx= new modX();
$modx->initialize('web'); // use the name of the front-end context

I’m not sure if it would work. Initializing the context, might log the person out.
