Topic: CakePHP - NewBie How to pass the session id of the logged in user in the header

[kee2ka4]

Hey Peeps,

What is the best way to access the session id of a logged in user in the header.ctp file which is in the views/element directory. Basically I have a link called My Account in the header file, and I want to display the logged In user info, once the user logs in.

I have the following link in the code:
<li><?php echo $html->link('My Account', '/users/view/'); ?></li>

But I want to pass the logged in user id in the view?

I have included the following  var $helpers = array('Session'); in the app_helper file but don't know how to get the session id and pass it to the view.

Thanks,
Ket
