Using sessions within PHP include file

Wappler General How To
#1

Anyone know if you can save a session variable from a PHP include?

I have a Dashboard page which has header.php as a Wappler include. In my header.php file, I have a log out button which on click is supposed to save a new session called loggedout=true and then redirect to login.php page.

The redirect is working fine but for some reason the session is not saving. I’ve copied the exact same session in to a standard php file to test and that is working fine.

Unless someone knows otherwise, it appears that saving a session or cookie does not work from an include.

Can you explain a little more here?

#3

Have you just applied the set session action on click, when this button is also used to run the logout action?

#4

Originally I set the on click to set session action and then redirect. I also tried deleting redirect and running just the session action but no luck. Checked in Chrome developer tools and no session is being saved.

#5

Can you paste the button code here, please?

#6

Sign out link:

<div class="dropdown-item" dmx-on:click="signout.load({})" style="cursor:pointer;"><span class="dropdown-icon oi oi-account-logout"></span> Sign Out</div>

Server action:

<dmx-serverconnect id="signout" url="dmxConnect/api/security/signout.php" noload="noload" dmx-on:success="session1.set('test','testing',{});browser.goto('/login?signout=true')"></dmx-serverconnect>
