Hi Fabian,
I am with Hilmar on using existing CMS session.
André, I think you meant the session is available via a built in
placeholder of type info, <%inf_session_key%>. No RQL is necessary.
Now to answer the question why when using preexecution, the PHP session is
different everytime.
CMS first get the information from cache or database, replace the existing
placeholders with information. Then the snippets of CMS pages are joined
into a single web page. Then the preexecution parser comes in, parses out
all the pieces of preexecution code and place them into a temp file. The
temp file is sent to IIS for execution. The result is then parsed and
substituted back into the single web page earlier. Finally, the single web
page is displayed on end user's browser.
You might have noticed these keywords: temp file, IIS, temp execution.
That is right, each preexecution is temporary and is a new session on the
IIS.
Also, preexecution make CMS do another round of pass around IIS, adding 1-2
seconds of extra rendering time per page. Not scalable for a big project
with many active users.
Anyways, with your PHP, you can have
<?php
function GetSession($session_key) {
$ret_session_key = "";
if($session_key == "")
{
$ret_session_key = StartSession();
} else {
SetSession($session_key);
$ret_session_key = $session_key;
}
return $ret_session_key;
}
$t = GetSession("<%inf_session_key%>");
?>
