Getting the customer id if session is not set

You can add this to your class:

PHP Code:

// Add this as a class variable
protected static $customerId = 0;

// Then to SET it do this
self::$customerId = $customer_id;

// Then to GET it do this
$customer_id = self::$customerId; 


Do I put the bottom 2 in the __construct() area?

You first need to get your customers id, I would create two new methods setCustomerId() and getCustomerId()

I see you are getting the customers id in the postLogin method so that would be were you would set it.

You get the customer id anywhere you need it after that.

Also if you do not need the customers id outside of this class then make the variable private.

There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!
