Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 2:29:29 am hi all i've this GREAT problem due to my need to store a variable in session and to the lack of documentation (and forum answers) about it. i've seen also some documentation here: http://doc.ez.no/class_ref/doc/view/ezsession5a62.html?PrintableVersion=enabled#999999 but i don't understand how to use the example in it!!! i even tried to insert the code into the index.php code, but i get only a fatal error... i said: if there is the possibility to store variable values in session, WHY there isn't enough documentation about it???? best regards alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 3:06:01 am thank you mark can you post some code please? i'm quite new to this, but i must do it and i don't know h o w.... best regards alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 3:59:04 am thanks! it works perfectly!!! just another question: in my index.php i'd like to get the session id or a timestamp (like currentdate()) in order to identify the current session with a unique value. so if index.php is running for the first time (for this session) it should retrieve the unique number and store in the session. otherwise it should view that that value is already set and do nothing questions: - how to retrieve timestamp/sessionid? - how to make index.php to know if the value of that variable is already set thanks a lot mark! you are being helpfull to me!!!!! cheers alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 4:05:53 am mark when you write value="{"Telephone"\|session_variable}"/></td> what do you mean with "session_variable"? in my index.php i wrote: $http =& eZHTTPTool::instance(); $http->setSessionVariable( "MyVar", "MyValue" ); and to retrieve the myVar value (MyValue) in my pagelayout.tpl i wrote: {"MyVar"\|session_variable} but i doesn't work! i get MyVar, not his value... any hint best regards alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 5:11:08 am mark please can you be more clear? should i write my own function? if i should, where should i put the function? is it the only way to retrieve session variables stored by httptool? cheers alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 5:12:19 am can you post the session_variable function code? best regards alessandro
Alessandro Cipriani	Tuesday 09 March 2004 7:04:29 am mark thank you for the advice... :) i'm not able to make it work, but i'll write you what i've done: -index.php, after row 333 (eZSessionStart();) added the following: $http =& eZHTTPTool::instance(); $http->setSessionVariable( "MyVar", "MyValue" ); [in this way i think i've set a session variable (MyVar) with value "MyValue"] -eztemplatestringoperator.php, row 301 added the following: // return a session variable case $this->SessionVariable: { include_once( "lib/ezutils/classes/ezhttptool.php" ); $http =& eZHTTPTool::instance(); $operatorValue = $http->sessionVariable("MyVar"); } break; i wrote sessionvariable("MyVar") because i want to retrieve only the myvar value -pagelayout.tpl: added the following: {"MyVar"\|SessionVariable} i want to retrieve the session variable. but in pagelayout i get "MyVar"... not myValue!!!! i can give you my icq#: 326457502 help me please (then i'll take a very very long breath!!!) cheers alessandro
