Includes are in the scope of the method/function they were called in, in
this case callForumAPI, so they will only be visible inside that method
The easiest way to achieve this, I think, is to move the include and the
/$user->session_begin()/ into the public/index.php file so they will be
included in the global scope. It is not rally elegant, but elegance is sort
of deprecated when having to deal with global variables ;)
Hope this helps
