Can you give more details ? What are you trying to do in your php file ? Are you in front or back office ? Is your php file called with ajax ? We need the context to understand where the problem can come from. – Nebiim

Answer 1

I certainly couldn't get it to work in my test either. However, you can try

$id = (int)$this->context->cookie->id_customer;

which works for me. I'm not at all sure that this is the best way to do it though.

Answer 2

First check if user is logged in than get the id by $this->context->customer->id_customer

if ($this->context->customer->isLogged()) {

      echo $this->context->customer->id_customer;

}
else{
   echo 'Not LoggedIn';
}

Answer 3

You shouldn't be using cookie.

Just use this:

    $id=(int)$this->context->customer->id;

you can remove (int), but i like to specify the type of content im getting.

In Prestashop 1.6, the best way in a controller is to use :

        $id_customer = null;
        if ($this->context->customer->isLogged()) {
            // code to execute if i am logued
             $id_customer = $this->context->customer->id;
        }
