Trying to set a local variable with a value from a session

[Flyer5]

I have a headache trying to solve this!

 

I have a custom php page that uses the normal etano structure, ie custom.php in the root dir calls the html page and css etc. in the skins folder 

The session array exists in all the pages and the values in the array and sess id etc are all correct, as evidenced with a print_r

 

But,

if i use

 

$name = $_SESSION[_LICENSE_KEY_]['user']['user'] ;

(user is a array called user with a value in it called user)

on any page where the array exists

$name is always returned empty.

I expected the above to just extract the value of user from the session and store it locally in $name, but its not retrieving the value, or its not storing it

any ideas you php'ers!

Ta.

It would be helpful if you could post this array structure

this is it...

 

Array ( [uNEMEXADUWEWUFENAWUGAD] => Array ( [user] => Array ( [skin] => def [user] => ***** [membership] => 4 [prefs] => Array ( [datetime_format] => %m/%d/%Y %I:%M %p [date_format] => %m/%d/%Y [profile_comments] => 1 [rate_my_photos] => 1 [time_offset] => 0 ) [user_id] => 2 [status] => 15 => ***************** [pstat] => 15 [loginout] => 1424507388 [timedout] => Array ( => http:/**********************/home.php [method] => GET [qs] => Array ( ) ) ) )

Provided the constant  _LICENSE_KEY_  is set to the string  UNEMEXADUWEWUFENAWUGAD  then that line of code you posted should be setting the $name variable to the value of that session variable.

 

When are you using print_r? Directly before the use of that session variable? Do you have error reporting enabled or have you checked your servers error logs?

Thank you! I was overlooking the obvious, once id uncommented the include for the defines everything worked! couldn't remember commenting it in the first place lol.
