saving session variables

[utahfriend]

I am setting up affilates to sell our products. When someone comes from the affiliate's website, there is a code that is passed by "GET" value. I want to save that value to a session value so that when they make an order, the value is added to the database. However, I cannot get the variable to save to a session variable. The code I put in the index.php files is as follows:

if ($_GET['affiliate']) {
  $value=$_GET['affiliate'];
  $_SESSION['affiliate']=$value;
}

 

Any and all help is appreciated!

Try this:

 

if ($_GET['affiliate']) {
  $value=$_GET['affiliate'];
  if ( ! tep_session_is_registered('affiliate') ) 
     tep_session_register('affiliate');
}

That worked! Thank you!
