Answer 1

$a['core']['visitor_data']['customer_log_id']

Answer 2

It appears that you're trying to retrieve the information from the $_SESSION array. There are two ways you can do this. As another poster suggested, you can simply hack it out of the $_SESSION superglobal thusly:

$logId = $_SESSION['core']['visitor_data']['customer_log_id'];

However, this is a bit of a hack to avoid the Magento framework. The better option (from a "correctness" point of view) is to use Magento's session management. So, instead, we have:

// we could also skip a step and just use Mage::getSingleton("core/session")->getVisitorData(), 
// but I wanted to add the datatypes for your reference
$session =  Mage::getSingleton("core/session"); // Mage_Core_Model_Session
$customerData = $session->getVisitorData(); // array
$logId = $customerData['customer_log_id']; // int

Hope that helps!
