access logged user from php page

[lucabek]

Hi, i would like to access the logged user data from a simple php page, hosted in the same server of shop, the page is pure php, no framework, how can i do?

 

thanks!

Include init.php is not required at all.

it works, if i include an iframe in domain B, same host, i see the user data, but i i use curl, of file_get_contents the user is not logged, it lost session id, any ideas?

[Scully]

file_get_contents is not able to handle cookies. curl is. Therefore, you won't be able to solve this with file_get_contents.

But anyway - why use curl? You could call any function / controller within your script without the need of using this external tools.

I have a page php in server B and prestashop is in server A, I want to compile a form from php page in server B with the user details logged in server A, what do you suggest!?

[Scully]

if you are working cross server, you'll need something like curl. quicker and eventually more reliable would be to process data on the prestashop server.

I have made an API on the server prestashop that return the current logged user as xml, if I call it by URL, it works fine, if in server B I include I frame with src of API I see user data, but with curl or Ajax getjson I see no logged user, this is the problem! Do you have idea how to pass a cookie or session to curl!???

[Scully]

Probably easier to get to a solution if you describe what your goal exactely is?

 

And - what is logged in user. An admin or a customer?

If latter is the case. There are tables like ps_guest and ps_connections. There you find all data from stored connections with customer id.

[lucabek]

The user is customer, the problem is that if I call a script form B server de logged user is null, it seems curl not use my session!

[Scully]

Curl needs to know the session id. If you don't pass it, you don't get a result. Why not allow the remote server to access the prestashop database?

All information is available there.

 

And you didn't explain what your real goal would be.

[lucabek]

User make a login in prestashop then go to other domain and register to a service using a form, I want to compile the form with initial data of the logged user! This is the goal

[Scully]

Access you prestashop datatbase. Everything else with file_get_contencts, curl or iframes gets difficult or is impossible at all. file_get_contents is no way at all and with curl you needed the session id. which we don't know as per my know how.

But to query the database I need to know customer id

[Scully]

Mail address would be convenient as well - and the user might know his address. Once he enters it, you fill up the rest. Or your could pass the customer_id as parameter with the link to the external site. So the remote server would know what to look up.
