[Typo3] help with session variables

[Ronald Renfro]

hi,

according to the TS_REF varibales can be stored in session (frontend no 
login) by a calls to
$GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->getKey() and 
$GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->setKey().

I setup a simple testing script for a cart and a typoscript template 
that calls my class function. Somehow I cannot get any data stored in 
session. debug($GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user) shows that sesData is empty 
etc... I am stuck.

any help would be great!

Here is what I have got:



Typoscript template:
---------------------
includeLibs.wsm = fileadmin/scripts/user_test.php
page = PAGE
page.typeNum=0

page.30 = USER_INT
page.30 {
     userFunc = user_test->listCart
  }

Class file:
---------------------
class user_test {

	function listCart($content,$conf)	{

		$GLOBALS['TSFE']->set_no_cache();
		
		// read data from session		
		if ($GLOBALS["TSFE"]->loginUser) {
			$cartData = $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->getKey("user","cartData");
		} else {
			$cartData = $GLOBALS["TSFE"]->fe_user->getKey("ses","cartData"); 		
		}
		
		// add data to session
		if(! is_array($cartData)) {
			$cartData = array();
			$cartData["name"] = "paul";
			$cartData["address"] = "Main street";
			$cartData["shipping"] = "express";
			$cartData["total"] = "50";
		} else {
			// simple test
			$cartData["total"] = $cartData["total"] +1;
		}
		
		$GLOBALS['TSFE']->fe_user->setKey("ses","cartData", $cartData);
		$GLOBALS['TSFE']->storeSessionData();		
		
		
		
		$str = "Cart: ";
		
		if(is_array($cartData)) {
			foreach($cartData as $k => $v) {
				$str .= $k.":".$v."<br />";		
			}
		
		} else {
			$str .= "empty";
		}
		
		return $str;
	}
}
