I was trying to do something similar in an application of mine. What
I ended up with came about somewhat accidentally.
A lot of actions in my application require checking different
attributes of the user, so I was grabbing the user by the username to
get the current user by a session variable, but before grabbing the
user I was checking that the session variable even existed:
$this->Session->check($variable);
I may be wrong, and I hope someone will correct me if I am, but if the
session variable wasn't there I assumed that the session timed out, at
which point I did a
$this->flash("You session has timed out, please login again.", "/
controller/login/", 5);
I informed the user, and redirected them to the login page.
