Sessions - Not Working

You are wrong about loading the session as a driver.
Just like before, it must be loaded as a library:

PHP Code:

$this->load->library('session'); 


Check the documentation for that.

The tricky part is configuring the session settings.
I didn't get it working with $config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
Therefore, I switched to $config['sess_driver'] = 'database';  and I added a ci_sessions table to my database.
No problems with sessions since then.

Thanks for your reply Wouter60, however, in my problem I said I "HAVE" to load it as a driver, I don't have a choice, I also asked if someone could explain why I have that would be great. I have read the documentation and have seen how to initialise the session library -  http://www.codeigniter.com/userguide3/li...-a-session 

If I do attempt to load it as a library

Code:

$this->load->library('session')

This is what I get

Code:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Session::$session
Filename: libraries/Session_management.php
Line Number: 38

For your ref: line 38 is:

Code:

$this->session = $this->CI->session;

This is after trying to load the session library

Code:

$this->CI->load->library('session');

Any further help would be appreciated
