Need help adding $_SESSION variable

[chadderuski]

I have added two fields to my customers table: customers_account_name & customers_account_number

I want to add these as $_SESSION variables at login, so I edited /includes/modules/pages/login/header.php and added the following code:

about line 47: get customer info

    // Check if email exists
    $check_customer_query = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password,
                                    customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id,
                                    customers_authorization, customers_referral, 
			  	    customers_account_number, customers_account_name
                           FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                           WHERE customers_email_address = :emailAddress";

about line 84: create session variables

        $_SESSION['customer_id']                 = $check_customer->fields['customers_id'];
        $_SESSION['customer_default_address_id'] = $check_customer->fields['customers_default_address_id'];
        $_SESSION['customers_authorization']     = $check_customer->fields['customers_authorization'];
        $_SESSION['customer_first_name']         = $check_customer->fields['customers_firstname'];
        $_SESSION['customer_last_name']          = $check_customer->fields['customers_lastname'];
        $_SESSION['customer_country_id']         = $check_country->fields['entry_country_id'];
        $_SESSION['customer_zone_id']            = $check_country->fields['entry_zone_id'];
        // added fields
	$_SESSION['customers_account_number']    = $check_customer->fields['customers_account_number'];
	$_SESSION['customers_account_name']      = $check_customer->fields['customers_account_name'];

This DOES create the $_SESSION[] variables, but they are empty. It looks straight forward, so I don't know what I'm missing.

I can echo any of the other $_SESSION variable and get the expected value, so I don't know why these two are blank when the values are entered correctly in the customers table...????

Would really appreciate any help getting this right!

Thanks,

It seems the specific issue is that:

$check_customer->fields['customers_account_number']
$check_customer->fields['customers_account_name']

is not returning my data, but I don't know why... ???

Doh! Okay, just ignore this... I somehow managed to leave those two fields empty so NO there wouldn't be anything there!

Up too late celebrating the BLACKHAWKS!

Thanks for the update and explaining the issue of the missing data ... this actually can be of great help to others to see how things like this can and do happen ...
