Access the $_SESSION from a non-zen folder

[drbyday]

I have read the many post about accessing the $_SESSION from outside zc, but my question is tad different but I think simple..? :

I have osTicket (ticket support system) install in ../helpdesk/

For security reasons I only want allow access to /helpdesk/... if the user is logged in with zencart.

I tried putting:

require_once '../includes/application_top.php'; in but then in redirects to zc/install.....

Any ideas?

Thanks for your guy's time, much appreciated.

Youl will probably have to write a bridge - not a simple task at all

oh:)

Whats a bridge?

Am I even close?:

require_once '../includes/configure.php';


if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {

I guess I am still not connecting to the database.
