$this->session->userdata('user_id') returning blank [Using Uploadify] - El Forum - 11-17-2010

Solved! http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/150550/
Edit* I should add that I am using uploadify and upload_facevide() is being called from it.
Hello again Codeigniter experts! So I found a strange problem while trying to fetch session information inside a controller method:
Code:
function upload_facevideo() {
if (!empty($_FILES)) {
// Get user folder
$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
echo 'user id is ' . $user_id;
}
}I would always get "user id is" and no number. I know for a fact that there is a user_id field and it does fetch properly when in this context:
Code:
function test() {
$user_id = $this->session->userdata('user_id');
echo $user_id;
}Does anybody know why this is happening? I am extremely puzzled!
Thanks in advance for any help![/b]http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/150550/

Session library loaded both places?
They seem identical.

Thanks Dennis for your quick response,
The session library is auto-loaded. I just edited my first post by saying that I am using uploadify and the strange behavior only occurs from the method upload_facevide() that it calls.
