Sessions not working with time_reference set to gmt - El Forum - 06-09-2009
[eluser]Dan Horrigan[/eluser]
Anyone else have this issue? If I set this:
Code:
$config['time_reference'] = 'gmt'Then my cookies seem to be expiring instantly. Any data I put in them is gone when I try to access them on the next page.
On an odd note, flashdata works perfectly fine.
Any help would be great.

I'd recommend you clear all cache and cookies pertaining to your site, and try again.

I have done this. It seems to be an issue with CI setting the expiration date of the cookie using gmt, but my pc is in GMT -4. But my thinking is that should make the cookie valid longer...not shorter. This has been verified as an issue on multiple computers.

Do they expire immediatly if you have the timezone of any other negative or is it just GMT?

Have you set your system's timezone correctly? You can do this by double-clicking the time at the bottom right hand side of your screen, and then selecting the "Time Zone" tab.

Thanks for your help guys, but I am going to simply set time_reference back to 'local' and then use local_to_gmt() when needed.
