This code will allow you to add a function that can be called from anywhere within Magento. It extends the helper class
1) Create a file named ‘Mycode.xml’ and copy it to app/etc/modules/ – it should look like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Mycode_Function>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
</Mycode_Function>
</modules>
</config>2) Create the directory
app/code/local/Mycode/Function/etc
and then create a file named ‘config.xml’
In it copy:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Mycode_Function>
<version>1.0.0</version>
</Mycode_Function>
</modules>
<global>
<helpers>
<function>
<class>Mycode_Function_Helper</class>
</function>
</helpers>
</global>
</config>3) Create the directory
app/code/local/Mycode/Function/Helper
and then create a file named ‘Data.php’
In it copy:
<?php
class Mycode_Function_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
public function test(){
return 'works';
}
}You can now call this function like so
<?php
echo Mage::helper('function')->test();
?>

$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.
