 * Hello,
 * I just downloaded and activated your plugin but while it shows all of my SQL 
   queries perfectly, it doesnt’t show any of the session variables I am manipulating.
 * The session array simply appears as:
 * $_SESSION = array (
    );
 * I am manipulating about 7/8 variables and echoing them out at the top of my page.
   I am actually var_dump – ing them to the screen and it looks as follows:
 *  array(2) { [“ViewType”]=> string(12) “StandardView” [“WebsiteLanguage”]=> string(
   7) “English” }
 * I thought that your plugin would also show me the current session values stored
   for the user accessing the page? Have I installed / configured this incorrectly?
 * Kind Regards
 * Simon

 * Hi,
    the data from $_SESSION and other global variables is “cached” when BlackBox
   is initiated.
 * I am guessing that BlackBox is started before your plugin/theme starts the session
   so the variable is empty.
