Problem with cookie - El Forum - 02-16-2012
[eluser]Cálcio[/eluser]
Hi guys.
I have used the cookie from CI using the method $this->ci->load->helper('cookie'); and I'm setting the cookie like this:
Code:
set_cookie(array(
'name' => "autologin",
'value' => $login,
'expire' => 5184000,
));So, when I print the value using a simple method in my controller, the data return the correct value, however seems the expire time don't work. I think the value the expire is 60 days, but with a few minutes I lost my session.
Someone have a idea for this behavior.
Tnks.

Why are you using $this->ci ? You only need that if your loading it in a libaray etc not in a controller.

So, I have a method in my controller, that verify if the cookie exist.
Something like that:
Code:
/**
* Check if user logged in. Also test if user is activated or not.
*
* @param bool
* @return bool
*/
function is_logged_in($activated = TRUE) {
// Try to autologin
if($this->autologin())
{
return STATUS_ACTIVATED;
}
else
{
return $this->ci->session->userdata('status') === ($activated ? STATUS_ACTIVATED : STATUS_NOT_ACTIVATED);
}
}This verification return true or false.

If it is in a controller you do not need to use $this->ci
And your code should be like this...
Code:
return ($this->session->userdata('status') === $activated) ? STATUS_ACTIVATED : STATUS_NOT_ACTIVATED;Problem with cookie - El Forum - 02-17-2012

hum ok.
But my CI version is old (1.7.2). Is it a problem? Can I use the same way that you wrote?
