Using $session to pass variable from joomla 3.9 to php file

[chanteur94]

Hi

I have problems to pass variable from Joomla 3.9 to a php file

In joomla, I use
<?php $session = JFactory::getSession(); $session->set('name', "value"); ?>

And in php file
<?php $session = JFactory::getSession(); echo $session->get('name'); ?>

I'm newbee with session. Please be patient :-)

Thank you.

What is the purpose of your PHP file? Does it bootstrap the Joomla! Framework?

My need is a little complex. In fact I'm using Joomla 3.9 and Community Builder 2.2.1

With CB (community builder), there is 2 parts : the user connected (userMe) and the user viewed (userDisplayed). When you clic on a menu (example, contact menu) and you are on a userDisplayed, CB exit from the userDisplayed and turn back to the userMe. (But I want to stay on the userDisplayed (I'm in contact with Joomlapolis and it's not possible to change that).

To get around that, I'm using an external plugin from Tassos (EngageBox) who allows me to open a popup module. So, when I exit from the popup module, I'm always with the userDisplayed.

Now, I have the problem with the popup module who is not 'interactive' and some PHP code didn't work inside. (It is just a form with test on checkbox and radio button). So I create an external file.php to execute some codes.

And now, I need to send some Variables (CB substitutions) from the popup module to this file.php.

That's my problem !!!

Hi Chanteur,
Put some hidden fields in your pop up could make some tricks.
Be care with sensitive information, and it's better to use your own plugin to modify things easier. Many embed cause more complicated to your math.
