Linking to cart deletes the cart

[sparkyhd]

I'm linking to the cart information to display the information on pages outside of Prestashop. The code starts with

 

include('shop/config/config.inc.php');

include('shop/init.php');

 

This works fine on my WAMP version of the site and the rest of the code can display the cart contents.

 

On the hosted LAMP site the above 2 lines of code actually empty the cart? I guess just calling the script resets the session variables?

 

Any ideas please.

 

Thanks

I've discovered that my problem is I'm running this script from a parent directory above Prestashop which is in a sub-folder called '/shop'

 

If I run the same script from within the /shop folder it works fine.

 

However I want a main site in the top folder and the shop in /shop.

 

Anyone tell me how to access the cart session data from outside the /shop folder?

 

Thanks
