How use call out stored session values as dynamic binding

Wappler General

During login, I had some session parameters set such as current user name and id using the action SET SESSION VALUE. I also have a session parameter that I had saved using php code. How can I get those session values to populate in my webpages such as in field inputs, or just as a dynamic binding within my pages? I saw videos on how to dynamically set the values using the session manager app, but I could not find one on how to recall those session values.

If it only applies to user details, the following may help you with a better workflow:

Hi there @ccorley…

I had this same problem.

You cannot output a SESSION variable in a server action, even though there is a box to tick to say you can. It doesn’t work.

You need to use the Set Value action and assign it the value of the SESSION variable, and check the [] Output option on that. Then it can be selected to use on the app/client side.

Best wishes,
Antony.

Thank you Anthony for the suggestion. I tried setting the value to $_Session[‘parameter _name’] but it did not work. And I’m assuming what you mean by setting the value, you mean setting the static value to the session variable? Can you please elaborate further?

Yes, I mean that in your server action you create a Set Value action and assign it to the value of the session variable.

Here is one I have in my design:

sess

Then the value of db2 can be read on the app/client side if you have the output check box checked for the Set Value action. The orange icon you see above shows that the output checkbox is checked.

I hope that helps! :slight_smile:
