Alessandro Cipriani	Friday 27 February 2004 12:57:30 am hi all as you can read in http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_retrieve_session_id, i need to retrieve session id in my homepage. with ezhttp i didn't be able to retrieve the id, so my question is the follow: i think that i can insert some php script into the tpl page (<?php ... ?>). but how? if i write <?php session_start(); $sid = session_id(); echo sid; echo 'Hello world'; ?> either sid, either 'Hello world' aren't displayed! so i think is a php syntax error... any hint? best regards alessandro no output is displayed
Alex Jones	Friday 27 February 2004 6:15:28 am Alessandro, I am afraid there is not an easy way to include PHP inside of a template. This was a choice that the eZ team specifically made. What you should do is build an operator that includes the PHP you need access to. Check out http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/kernel/custom_template_operators and perhaps search for 'operators' on the ez.no site for more information.

hi all
as you can read in http://ez.no/community/forum/setup_design/how_to_retrieve_session_id, i need to retrieve session id in my homepage.
with ezhttp i didn't be able to retrieve the id, so my question is the follow:

i think that i can insert some php script into the tpl page (<?php ... ?>). but how?
if i write
<?php
session_start();
$sid = session_id(); echo sid;
echo 'Hello world';
?>
either sid, either 'Hello world' aren't displayed! so i think is a php syntax error...

any hint?
best regards
