magento - including php file in the root folder -


i have product page in magento have drop down menu , submit button. when choose value drop down menu , click submit, send request file called other.php in root of magento installation.

this fine.

on page set session variable $_session['mygroupid'] , have echoed out know that's ok.

when go redirect referring page, $_session['mygroupid'] not persisting. have included session_start(); on required pages.

i suspect it's because i'm breaking out of magento's world here, off php file created in root , again page in magento's world.

can tell me need in order "teach" magento other.php file part of overall set up, , need include allow session variable persist across pages?

i saw link looks similar problem, i'm new magento , don't quite understand information in it.

you need add below code @ top of external file.

<?php  require_once('app/mage.php'); //path magento  umask(0);  mage::app('default');  //get session object  $session = mage::getsingleton("core/session",  array("name"=>"frontend"));  $groupid = $session->getmygroupid(); 

you need define session in page

$data = 'groupid'; mage::getsingleton('core/session')->setmygroupid($data); 

let me know if having issues.
