 Setting a Session Variable

Upon Login, I want to pull an existing value (CurrentYear) and make it a $Session variable.



$str = "select CurrentYear from tbldefaultlookup where DefaultID = 1";

$rs = db_query($str);

$data = db_fetch_array($rs);

$CurrentYearTmp = $data["CurrentYear"];

$_SESSION["CurrentYear"] = $values["CurrentYearTmp"];


What am I mixing up? :-(

I hope I am right, hate to waste your time.

But I would just change the line

$_SESSION["CurrentYear"] = $values["CurrentYearTmp"];

to

$_SESSION["CurrentYear"] = $CurrentYearTmp;
Hopefully you get the results your looking for.

Thanks guys... but neither of these worked.... ?!?!?
After I update the TABLE which has CURRENT RECORD in it, I have an EVENT:

$_SESSION["CurrentYear"] = $values["CurrentYear"];

This works good.
But in my original post above, I am trying to SET the SESSION variable after logging in. And that's not working.
TABLE: tbldefaultlookup

DefaultID = 1

CurrentYear =2012
There is only one record in this table. I want to set this value (CurrentYear) to $_Session["CurrentYear"]
Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Your code looks correct. Probably it needs to be placed to another event or there is something else that needs to be tweaked.

Thanks Sergey... I just uploaded it and will send an email to support.

I finally got it to work by myself.
REMOVED

it from the Events.php location

(after Successful Login)
and
ADDED

it to the List Page: Before Process EVENT
Working code is:
// List page: Before process

function BeforeProcessList(&$conn)

{

// Save CurrentYear as a Session variable

$str = "select CurrentYear from tbldefaultlookup where DefaultID = 1";

$rs = CustomQuery($str);

$data = db_fetch_array($rs);

$_SESSION["CurrentYear"] = $data["CurrentYear"];
