Trouble in JavaScript method to get the CI session - El Forum - 03-31-2009
[eluser]hahacc[/eluser]
$session_data = array('admin'=>$this->input->post("username"));
$this->session->set_userdata($session_data);
$username=$this->session->userdata(admin);//get the username
There is not a problem in the above code,but when I wanna to get the value of admin with JavaScript method,problem starts to ache my head:
a=get_cookie('admin');//Why nothing?
Why I get the cookie with native CI method,but nothing with the JS method?
PS:I'm not using a database to store the session data.
Thanks for sharing me with this problem.

admin is not the name of the cookie. If you didn't change it in the config.php file ci_session is the cookie name.

Thank for replying.
But,as you say,I tried:
getCookie('ci_session');
But nothing I got later,too.
And besides,I can not find the ci_session cookie in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Cookies.
If I set several cookies in a page,how to get each of them?(for there is only one cookie,namely ci_session)
My question is somehow too fool,yes?
But it really troubles me.

Or can I get it via:
In controller:
$this->load->helper('cookie');
In view:
echo $a=get_cookie('ci_session');
