Debugging with $_SESSION

The last line a my script is: include “recalc_direct_price.php”;

recalc_direct_price.php:

<?php
echo var_dump($_SESSION);
?>

How do I get access to $_SESSION outside the session without first sending $_SESSION data to a mysql table?

Is that even possible?

The session data is temporal. It would be of no use to you ‘outside the session’.
What are you trying to accomplish? What problem needs to be solved?

recalc_direct_price.php is the beginning of a new part of a large front end script. I’d would like to develop it with access to $_SESSION without having to run this large complicated front end script. Sounds like I should substitute a mysql table for the $_SESSION array.

Any other ideas?

Dont… do it outside the session? Make everything part of the session?

OK then. I’ll stop fighting my inclination. Thanks ParkinT and StarLion.
