WHMCS account status from outside?

[Metahuman Network]

Hello all! I'm trying to get user logged-in status/session from OUTSIDE of WHMCS. I'm using latest apache, php 7.2 and WHMCS 7.8.3.

Site is on example.com and WHMCS is portal.example.com.

WHMCS directory is a subdirectory within the root of the main site ie example.com/account-management/

Using Code:

<?php

require("init.php");

$ca = new WHMCS_ClientArea();

$userid = $ca->getUserID() ;

If ($userid > 0) { $loggedin = true; }

else { $loggedin = false; }

if ($loggedin) { echo "Logged in"; }

else { echo "Not logged in"; }

?>

When calling the file directly from portal.example.com It shows as expected when logged in. 

When accessing from trying to poll getuserid.php (above code) from main site or via sub-directory, result is always 0/Logged out.

I'm sure it's an Apache or WHMCS permissions issue that my tired brain is overlooking.

 

Thanks! ❤️
