access session data of opencart through php file

Question

I am new to opencart. I have my basic php code at http://localhost/testphp

and my opencart is installed at http://localhost/opencart. What I want to do is that in testphp, I have a page in which I want to check that if any user is logged in or not at opencart.

If it is logged in then I want to perform x function

and It not logged in then want to perform y function

I have tried to logged in to opencart and tried to print_r($_SESSION) in testphp. It is returning blank. How can I perform this ? Please help me

Answer 1

If you are using localhost then you can try this. or same hosting account or cpanel

Go to catalog/controller/common/header.php

Before "public function index() {" Add this code

class ControllerCommonHeader extends Controller {
    public function index() {    
             session_start();
             $_SESSION['opencart'] = $this->session->data;

You Have to Print Array in http://localhost/testphp Code :

<?php
session_start();
echo '<pre>';
print_r($_SESSION);
echo '</pre>';
?>

Your Output Will be

Array
(
    [opencart] => Array
        (
            [language] => en-gb
            [currency] => USD
            [customer_id] => 2
            [shipping_address] => Array
                (
                    [address_id] => 2
                    [firstname] => Prashant
                    [lastname] => Bhagat
                    [company] => 
                    [address_1] => Surat
                    [address_2] => 
                    [postcode] => 395003
