JFactory::getSession() in module, produces a 500 error

Question

I am trying to get the JSession inside my module php file.

But every time I wrote this code:

$session = JFactory::getSession();

Joomla responds with a 500 error for the page that my module is loaded.

If I comment out that line, the page is loading again fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I think I found out my mistake that causes the error.

I have later in my code a:

print_r($session);

and this is actually the code that is generating the 500 error.

I must use something like:

print_r($session->getData());

to print out the session data.
