Session Variables not appearing in root pages

[koolie]

I believe my problem is similar to the problem here: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...ssion+variables

 

I have osCommerce installed at /catalog. I'm integrating it with a basic pages on the root / . My problem is that when I show what variables are set in the catalog pages, I get:

cart = Object

language = english

languages_id = 1

currency = USD

navigation = Object

customer_id = 2

customer_default_address_id = 2

customer_first_name = Pat

customer_country_id = 223

customer_zone_id = 64

 

However, when I check the pages in the root area, none of these show up. The top of my root pages have this:

<?php session_start(); ?>

<?php ob_start(); ?>

 

I tried removing ob_start() as I'm not entirely sure what this does..and that didnt help. Also, I framed in a cart page on my root pages and displayed sessions variables on both pages - just to make sure my root pages weren't erasing the osc session vars - and i didnt get any of the osc vars on the root page, but they did show up on the framed page.....any ideas?

Not that's different. You want to use the osc to handle the entire site. You need to see how this module works and then implement the root pages accordingly. There are other solutions perhaps simpler but that one will help you understand how to do that.

I must be missing something. I've included the class on my index page, but the only variable that is coming through is the osc cookie: osCsid = 2cf29cf2532577e5598de88a9777cb53

 

none of the other variables are made available. Is there something to this that I am missing?
