 * Hello,
 * I need to be able to initiate a session using the standard php prior to DOM, 
   as I need info from the user’s custom fields to populate another addon. Only 
   problem is, in initiating a session, I am colliding with the plugin.
 * Is there a way to avoid collision and keep the core functionality of the plugin
   intact?
 * I’m sure you’re already familiar with the standard php session initiation, but
   I’ll include anyway:
 *     ```
       <?php
       define('IN_PHPBB', true);
       $phpbb_root_path = ('./Forums/');
       $phpEx = substr(strrchr(__FILE__, '.'), 1);
       include($phpbb_root_path . 'common.' . $phpEx);
   
       // Start session management
       $user->session_begin();
       $auth->acl($user->data);
       $user->setup();
       ?>
       ```
