[Chameleon] chameleon session vars ....

[Liz Godwin]

Hi Jeremy,

I don't know if you have solved this yet.  I came across your post while
researching another session problem I'm having.

In our popup pages (essentially the same as non-chameleon pages), you must
pass the session id (sid=xxx) in the url to the page, and then before you
call on the session.inc.php you need to define LOAD_SESSION if not already
done.

Here is a snippit from the top of one of my popup pages..
<?php
if ( !defined( "LOAD_MAPSESSION" ) ) {
    define("LOAD_MAPSESSION", 1);
}

//language file for a widget (outdated as of 2.4)
$szLanguageResource = str_replace("\\","/",dirname(__FIL
E__))."/<widgetname>.dbf";

include_once("../session.inc.php");
include_once("../CWC2ButtonCache.php");

//...etc
?>

Hope this helps you out!

Cheers,

Liz
