Include session variables in php tags

Hi I am using the older version of vshare and have come across a problem.

I am trying to run some custom php code in the template. The following seems to work ok

PHP Code:

---

if ($smarty.session.USERNAME == $uname) 


---

however I need to try and use $smarty.session.USERNAME in an sql query but then it does not work because of the periods's in the variable.

I know php sometimes converts them to underscores but $smarty_session_USERNAME is no good either.

I have tried

PHP Code:

---

$login = $smarty.session.USERNAME;
$login = $smarty_session_USERNAME 


---

Anyone have any ideas how I can use that within {php} tags?

Hi,

You must first enable {php} tags in template by adding the following code in vShare/include/vshare.php file.

Code:

---

$smarty->allow_php_tag = true;

---

After

Code:

---

$smarty->caching = 0;

---

Now you can use php session variables within {php} tags in templates.

Code:

---

$login = $_SESSION['USERNAME'];

---

Try this.
