Hi. Is ci/sessions safe to use? I heard that ci/session saves information in user's cookie. So...
If i do:
Code:
$this->session->set_userdata(array('id'=>$id, 'nick'=>$nick))In another place:
Code:
if ($this->session->userdata('id') == '') die('NOT LOGED IN')Can it be hacked if hacker creates cookie in his browser with id=1?
