phpbb session across folders

Question

I'm using a phpBB (2.0.22) in a website, located at myWebSite.com/forum

I am creating some other pages in myWebSite.com/otherForders

What I want, is to check whether a person in logged into myWebSite.com/forum when they are in myWebSite.com/otherForders

Wondering if that's possible.

I've tried session_start(); print_r($_SESSION); in myWebSite.com/otherForders/index.php and all I get is Array ( ) (an empty array).

Anyone with a solution? Thanks.

You should integrate your board with your code

Here is sample ::

define('IN_PHPBB', true);
$phpbb_root_path = './';
include($phpbb_root_path . 'extension.inc');
include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.'.$phpEx);

//
// Start session management
//
$userdata = session_pagestart($user_ip, PAGE_INDEX);
init_userprefs($userdata);
//
// End session management
//

Then use

$userdata['username'], $userdata['user_id'] & etc. $userdata has array with values from users_table for your board for logged in user.
