Authenticating a user without asking for credentials using PHP [closed]

I'm having some problems on figuring this out:

I have currently made a website using PHP and MYSQL where users sign up/login.
I'm now trying to make some API so I can use GET to get if my user is signed in and their username.

The problem I've mainly encountered was the fact that as far as I know, using GET is not client sided and would not return me the users status (logged in or not & user)

I'm trying to do this because I'm going to have multiple sites linked to this authentication system.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Edit: (Adding more context)

Basically, I have one site (the main site) where people authenticate and create accounts. Their data is sent to a MySQL database.

On the other side, there’s another site. That site needs the users username (because I’d like to show it) and if they are not logged into their account on the first site, I want the second site to redirect them to the first site where they eventually create and account or login.

I’m also going to give an example where this is used. Let’s take Microsoft, they have their Microsoft accounts and a login page, and other services such as azure and office. They all use Microsoft’s original login without them needing to login each time they open that service, nor even the first time if they are already logged into their Microsoft account.

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...

Confusion between commands.Bot and discord.Client | Which one should I use?

Whenever you look at YouTube tutorials or code from this website there is a real variation. Some developers use client = discord.Client(intents=intents) while the others use bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="something", intents=intents) . Now I know slightly about the difference but I get errors from different places from my code when I use either of them and its confusing. Especially since there has a few changes over the years in discord.py it is hard to find the real difference. I tried sticking to discord.Client then I found that there are more features in commands.Bot . Then I found errors when using commands.Bot . An example of this is: When I try to use commands.Bot client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">",intents=intents) async def load(): for filename in os.listdir("./Cogs"): if filename.endswith(".py"): client.load_extension(f"Cogs.{filename[:-3]}") The above doesnt giveany response from my Cogs ...
