i would like to capture a parameter and store it into the session on startup i.e. mydomain.com/1234 where 1234 is an item number - when is the XOOPS session available?
Cheers
Tony

$_SESSION['your_var']=1234;

You can look inside include/common.php around line 263 for $sess_handler

and
myvar = $_SESSION['your_var'] on another page but the variable is blank - do you know how i can check the reason?
Thanks for your help

$myvar = $_SESSION['your_var'] must be after including mainfile.php.

Are you including mainfile.php in that page?

I have now tried
domainname.com/xoops/index.php?un=1234

and in index.php
$_SESSION['un'] = $_REQUEST['un']

but this does not carry into the session
any ideas?
Cheers
Tony

Why using that in index?
You should use it in include/common.php so it can be accessed in other pages.

open common.php and paste $_SESSION['un'] = $_REQUEST['un']; right before ?>

Then you can get use $var=$_SESSION['un']; in any page that calls mainfile.php (this covers almost every page, lol)
