Magento Set, Retrieve and Unset Session Variables

Posted: April 20th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: magento | 4 Comments »

To set a Magento session variable:

$myValue = 'Hello World';
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setMyValue($myValue);

To Retrieve:

$myValue = '';
$myValue=Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getMyValue();

To Unset:

Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->unsMyValue();

Note that ‘MyValue’ can be any text you want but ‘set’, ‘get’ and ‘uns’ prefixes are required.

    This wasn’t actually that helpful. At this point in the game I have a good handle on magic methods. But how do I mess with a session that’s not the one I’m currently in? I’m working with a swf and that doesn’t count as the same session apparently.
