How to store a var in the SESSION?

[JasonWang]

I saw some topics in this forum. It's said Prestashop 1.5 doesnt use $_SESSION.

They recommend to use 

$cookie->myvar = myvalue 

to store var.

 

I tried, but it is stored in the cookie, and value cannot be array, but only string.

Meanwhile, I want the var expires when the session is over.  But according to the method above, when I close brower, open it again, the var is still there.

 

So, how does Prestashop1.5 simulate the SESSION?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi Jason,

Code in 1.5 impies that it DOES use $_SESSION, or at least has knowledge of sessions:

 

for example in:

<your admin folder>/ajaxfilemanager/inc/config.php

 

the code to start a session is found:

if(!isset($_SESSION))

{

  session_start();

}

 

 

and in 

 

<your admin folder>/ajaxfilemanager/ajax_login.php:

if(!isset($_SESSION['loggedin']) || $_SESSION['loggedin'] === false) {
	
	if(isset($_POST['username']))
	{
		if($auth->login())
		{
			header('Location: ' . appendQueryString(CONFIG_URL_HOME, makeQueryString()));
			exit;
		}
	}
}

My 2 cents,

pascal
