Include session variables in php tags

[killahboo]

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

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

$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.

$smarty->allow_php_tag = true;

After

$smarty->caching = 0;

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

$login = $_SESSION['USERNAME'];

Try this.
