Hello,

I have 2 major issues with the plugin utilizing the PHP serialized array method:

1. Dynamic parameter requirement - I need ability to use $_SESSION or get_option with $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] to use a user id in order to output results.. Both of these works fine when I directly access the URL but wpdatatable says no data found for table. How exactly wpdatatable pull results from php serialized array url? using php CURL method?

USAGE EXAMPLE:- I want to pull employee list of a company using its COMPANY ID stored in session or get_option($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])

2. Secure data handling - I would like to use is_user_logged_in() function of wordpress before outputing the php serialized array output. This works totally fine when i access the url directly  but wpdatatable always return NO results as  it may not contain wordpress authentication cookie in its request. is_user_logged_in() is always FALSE and wont return any results in wpdatatable even if user is logged in and serialized results can be found by directly accessing  the url.

How to achieve these 2 goals.. Does the wpdatatable wont even send the $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] or any server headers, wp login cookies, sessions?? If atleast wp_get_current_user() could work, I can handle both the requirements somehow..

Time is Money $ :) Resolved it myself.. All you need to add is 

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIE, $_SERVER['HTTP_COOKIE']);

at Line 157 of source/class.wdttools.php file during Curl request. This way is_user_logged_in() authentication can be done at remote end i.e., php serialized array URL in this case.

Cheers,
