Smarty loads most of the superglobal variables (_GET, _POST, SESSION,
etc.) as keys of the $smarty variable. For $smarty.session to be set,
you'll need to call session_start() in the script that creates the
Smarty object. To make sure that $smarty.session.user is set, you'll
also need to set $_SESSION['user'] in that same script, or in a previous
script available in the same session.
