$customer_id and application_top.php

[jhdesign]

I'm trying to execute this query in application_top.php

 

$customersid_query = tep_db_query("select customers_group_id from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = " . (int)$customer_id . "");
$customersid = tep_db_fetch_array($customersid_query);
echo 'ID is ' . $customersid['customers_group_id'];
if ($customersid['customers_group_id'] > 0)
{
 require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'shopping_cart.php');
}
else
{
require(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'shopping_cart_org.php');
}

 

But its always false because $customer_id has not been intiated yet, how can I fix this? When is customer_id first obtained?

I am signed in, my question was which point of the file execution does the customer id get obtained. Any ideas why the top code doesnt work?
