Session variables

[marianogi]

Hi!, I use Quform to get user statistics data that I show at the end of the filling with charts. I needed to create a plugin for that and I think that your session variables are perfect for me because I use a PHP script that loads the WP environment with “wp-load.php”, and pass to it some variables with sessions. But I don’t know how to do it because only by requiring the “wp-load.php” doesn’t seem to be enough. How can I use your great “Quform::getService(‘session’)” in my external PHP file? Is it possible? Could I require from my PHP any of your plugin files as I do with “wp-load.php”?

Thank you in advance for your help. You have an incredible plugin. I can’t believe how great and powerful it is, far beyond if it is possible to do what I want or not.

Hi, thank you for your super fast response. It does not work for me. I could check that it loads the Quform class because it passes the if ( ! class_exists('Quform')), but after that, I try to get the session and form with $session = Quform::getService('session');
$form = $session->get('formulario');
and it does not pass the if ( ! $form instanceof Quform_Form).

Could it be that something is destroying your session variables?

Thanks again!

Hi Ally, thank you again for helping me with this.

I can confirm that the domain doesn’t change at all. Not even the folder changes, both PHP scripts are in the same folder.

I have sent the admin credentials through your feedback form.

Let me explain a bit where is that code:

I create a plugin to handle all this named “QuForm – Personalización” (at ‘form-desigualdad’ folder). The file that stores the session variable is “form-desigualdad.php” and the file that should get it is “form-desigualdad-API.php”. In this file, I have commented all the session code. You can uncomment it to make your tests.

Thank you very much!

I think that maybe it is important to explain the whole workflow:

-Users fill the quform, and it automatically redirects to a results page that shows some charts.
-The chart plugin can get dynamic data from an API URL in JSON, but I need that API URL to be unique to show only the user results, I mean, by his/her entry_id.
-I am resolving this by now with shortcodes, using you session variables between “add_filter(‘quform_post_process_1′” and “add_shortcode(“. So the shortcode returns a customized URL with the entry_id

-All this wouldn’t be necessary if the second file could get the session variable the same way the “add_shortcode” does. And I think it would be a bit safer because I don’t like to use variables in the API URL call if they are not necessary.

I hope I have explained it well, thank you again and again.

Hi!, thank you again for your concern and help.

“if the chart script is getting the data through its own request it might not include the session cookie” -> I agree with you, but I didn’t know that could be possible: to make a call to that script without session variables, in the same server.
“Does it work if you visit the form-desigualdad-API.php directly?” -> yes, “form-desigualdad-API.php” works when I call it directly, but with parameters, of course, not with session variables. That’s why I thought that maybe WordPress is killing the session variables before the API call.

“if it’s possible to forward the cookie with the chart script data request”, I think I don’t understand what you mean. If you mean passing the data with parameters like “form-desigualdad-API.php?entryid=X”, that’s exactly what I am doing now, and it works, as I said before. But I don’t like this solution, I prefer to use your class and session variables functionality, so my call is much cleaner (and maybe safer too).

Kind regards,
Mariano
