How to save session variable to DB

[DanDigital]

Hi,

 

I am trying to update a database field with session data inside a class function and although I can write test data I only get 'Object' showing up in the db when I try to add the session variable.

 

I am using the following code;

 

$lightsesh = $_SESSION['lightbox'];

$update = "UPDATE #__user SET lightbox='$lightsesh' WHERE id='63' LIMIT 1";

$database->setQuery($update);

$database->query();

 

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Dan
