Can't read out osCommerce session variables

[boris_hu]

I tried to write some php page outside osCommerce catalog directory. Suppose it is a.php

 

/htdocs/catalog/index.php

/htdocs/mydir/a.php

 

catalog/index.php has a link to a.php. Now my problem is: at a.php, how can I get the session variables from index.php, such as customer_id, etc?

 

I have tried

session_name('osCsid');

session_start();

echo "customer_id: " . $customer_id . " from sessions. " <br>";

 

It doesn't work. crying.gif

 

Any tips? Thanks a lot.

First off make sure there is something in the session to see by adding the following to your page.

 

<?php
 echo "<pre>";
 print_r($_SESSION);
 echo "</pre>";
?>

 

That should dump the data from the session to the screen.

 

If that gives data in its output then look at the tep_customer_greeting() function in general.php to see how we do it.
