I want to access session values from layout.xml.
The code I did is
Layout.xml
<h2><?php $myprofile=new Zend_Session('user_session');
print $myprofile->username; ?> </h2>
Index Controller/index action
$userid = $this->_user->getUserId($username,$password);
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('user_session');
$session->username = $username;
$session->password = $password;
$session->uid = $userid;
$this->_redirect('home');
Home Controller/index action
$this->session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('user_session');
$this->view->uname = $this->session->username;
Home/index.phtml
<?php echo "The User Name is ".$this->uname?>
But it shows an error
Fatal error: Call to protected Zend_Session::__construct() from context 'Zend_View' in/var/www/shoppingcart/application/layouts/scripts/layout.phtml on line 19
I am able to get the session values in Home/index.html.
Expecting positive help.
Why using Zend_Session in the layout and Zend_Session_Namespace in the view ? also maybe you should'n use sessions in the view/layout but pass it as param from the controller or the bootstrap file
I agree with Amine here, putting the Zend_Session
in the view script is generally considered bad practice. I would indeed put it in the bootstrap as well, something like the following...
// Bootstrap.php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
public function _initUserSession()
{
// If not already done, bootstrap the view
$this->bootstrap('view');
$view = $this->getResource('view');
// Initialise the session
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace('user_session');
// See if the username has been set, and if not at
// least make the variable
if (isset($session->username)
$view->username = $session->username;
else
$view->username = null;
}
}
Then in the layout you can do this:
<?php if ($this->username !== null) : ?>
The User Name is <?php echo $this->username ?>
<?php else : ?>
No username has been set.
<?php endif; ?>
