autoload.php

Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array(

    'database', 'email', 'session'

);

config.php

Code:
$config['encryption_key'] = 'Xasdf32zsdfj0e98ehBDS3xS9j3DAIHKwdfweHfdksj34Ifreaky0120302weakyshitPSYCHOP4324342ath';

...

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';

$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;

$config['sess_save_path'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .'/ci/ci3-codes-mastery2/session/';

$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

controller

Code:

<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');



class Test extends CI_Controller {



    function __construct ()

    {

        parent::__construct();



        //$this->load->library('session');

    }



    public function index()

    {

        $newdata = array(

                'username'  => 'johndoe',

                'email'     => '[email protected]',

                'logged_in' => TRUE

        );



        $this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

        

        $this->load->view('test');

    }

     

     

}

view

Code:
<?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

        $data = $this->session->newdata;  

        $data2 = $this->session->userdata('newdata');

        echo 'Session Test...';

        print_r($data2);

?>

But when I run these codes nothing, the session data is not displayed.
What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance.

it's because you don't affect key to your session array.

In your case, you can access to your vars like that.

PHP Code:
$username = $this->session->username;
$email = $this->session->email;
$logged_in = $this->session->logged_in; 

if you want to get your complete array, set your session with a key

PHP Code:

$newdata = array(
        'username'  => 'johndoe',
        'email'     => '[email protected]',
        'logged_in' => TRUE
);

$this->session->set_userdata('newdata', $newdata);
// OR
$this->session->set_userdata(array('newdata'=>$newdata));

you can check if a key is available with

PHP Code:
$this->session->has_userdata('newdata'); // (false in your case)

You only need to change how you retrieve the session data from:

PHP Code:
$data2 = $this->session->userdata('newdata'); 

to:

PHP Code:
$data2 = $this->session->userdata(); 

As per the manual http://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html#retrieving-session-data

thanks dude very helpful.

The document is very confusing.

Can someone please update the document.
Thanks in advanced.

RE: Session proper config? - InsiteFX - 03-30-2016

PHP Code:
$config['sess_save_path'] = APPPATH.'tmp'

$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH.'tmp' 

I use one of the above to store my session files, I prefer using the APPPATH one.
