Session class allow for arrays? - El Forum - 10-06-2007

Hey folks,
Is it possible to set a session variable to contain an array of values? I'm trying to write a profile hit counter for http://www.f1autoimports.com/inventory which admins can view in the back-end.
I haven't thought of the most elegant formula for this task, but I'm thinking my best bet is to register a session with a vehicle_id. If a session exists with that vehicle_id set, do not increment the counter, else increment it. I think this will only be possible if I do something like:
Code:
$this->session->set_userdata('counter', $array['ids']);I'd definitely appreciate any feedback on how you folks handle something similar.

Yes its possible. Haven't done it before in CI.

I've been mulling over the same problem as well. For instance, how does this forum know if you've viewed a post or not? It's not based off of timestamps, it's based off of actual views.
Maybe a session/database field with a delimited list of viewed item IDs (comma, pipe, whatever)? I dunno.
