current_user help

[Alessio.Balloni]

Hi all,
I developed an external page, located on the same directory of sugarcrm files, that extends the opportunity behavior with custom data and custom relation to other applications.
This page is connected to the Opportunity page via custom button added to the relative vardef page.
Now I need to verify if the request came from an authenticated SUGARCRM user, if not I want redirect the request to the SUGARCRM login page.
So I tryed using "global $current_user; $current_user->id ... " but I get only an empty string.
Do I missing something?

Any help is appreciated.
TIA, Ax.

Thank you abhax but I'm still in truble with the $current_user global variable.
It's seems that my page can't access global variable nor session variables, all of these variables are empty.
Do I have to register in some way my custom page?

Include following line in the start of page

if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
