Added link in header to a php page

Now Session IDs don't show up. WHY ?

 

 

Is this a problem, will it effect anything on the site.

 

What should I do ?

 

Thank you for your help.

you must use the tep_href_link function to create links - this will preserve the session. Below is an example including the continue button:

 

                        <td align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL') . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td>

 

If you don't, customers will click on your link and lose the session - then their shopping cart will be empty :-"

Would you be kind enough to paste the code for just a text link. I am a little unsure as to how it would be different to the image coded link.

 

Thank you for your help.

<td class="main"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT) . '">Your Text</a>'; ?></td>

 

FILENAME_CREATE_ACCOUNT is defined in /includes/filenames.php you could instead have 'yourfile.php' (enclosed with quotes)

 

If you have created a new file, make sure that at the top you have:

 

 ?require('includes/application_top.php');

 

The above is needed in new files so that the sessions class will be called.

Thank you for your help Matti, I appreicate it.

 

A quick question, it all seems to work well and I see A sesion ID in the link the first time I click on my new top nav links. How ever the second time I click on a new link, or a product, or any page the Sesion ID is not in the link. Is this ment to be ??
