I Can't Get My Sessions To Work Right - El Forum - 10-18-2014

[eluser]ShoeLace1291[/eluser]
I am having loads of trouble getting my sessions to work right with my CodeIgniter application. I can log in once, but then after 5 minutes I get logged out. When I go to log back in again, my script says I am already logged into a member account and only on the login page, my account toolbar displays that I am logged in. Then I go back to the home page and I'm "logged out" again. I cannot access any "member only" content.

Through a core extension of the controller class that gets the current user's information I use $this->user throughout the app controllers to display the user's information. It could also be something with my config but I thought I got that straightened out... maybe not... who knows. So here's my code:

Controller extension:
Code:
<?php

class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller {
    
    var $user = array();
    
    function __construct(){
        
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->model('member');
        
     if(!$this->config->item('global_maintenance')){
      
      if($this->config->item('beta_mode')){
        
          $this->load->model('_beta');
          
          if($this->uri->uri_string() != 'beta/signup'){
          
           $this->_beta->get_user($this->input->ip_address());
           if($this->_beta->error == NULL){
            
            $this->betaUser = $this->_beta->info;
            
           } else {
            
            redirect('beta/signup');
            
           }
          
          }
          
      }
      
      $this->member->get_info($this->session->userdata('member_id'));
      if($this->member->error == NULL){
      
       $this->user = $this->member->info;
      
      }            
      
      
     } else {
      
       die('BaseCMD is currently down for routine maintenance.  Please try again later!');
      
      }
    
}
    
}

If your using Internet Explorer for a web browser then you need to remove the under score from the cookie name.

Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name']  = 'basecommandfrontend';

Not true.
If that fixes it, then adding another underscore will also fix it.

Yet, that has nothing to do with underscores in cookie names. I've seen this argument before, but it's simply not relevant.

msdn.com itself sends cookies with underscores in their name and if you are referring to this:

Quote:Q5: IE won’t set a cookie when the hostname/domain contains an underscore?

... note that it's about hostname/domain, not the cookie name.

It's a myth.
