cannot set an index of a session - hamidb80 - 07-04-2018

Hello. I try to change an index of a session but codeigniter sent an Error :

PHP Code:
$this->session->user['coins'] = 5; 

Code:
Indirect modification of overloaded property CI_Session::$user has no effect

But I didn't send any Error with following code:

PHP Code:
$_SESSION['user']['coins'] = 5; 

Is there any solution?

You need to read the CodeIgniter User's Guide

PHP Code:
$this->session->set_userdata('coins', '5');

No, This is my session:

PHP Code:
array( 
   "user" => array ("coins" => 5) 
) 

I want to change user coins.

I think what you were trying to do is

PHP Code:
$this->session->user = ['coins' => 5]; 

Which produces the exact same result as

PHP Code:
$_SESSION['user']['coins'] = 5; 

After either of the above is run

PHP Code:
var_dump($_SESSION); 

produces

Code:
array (size=2)

 '__ci_last_regenerate' => int blah-blah-blah

 'user' => 

     array (size=1)

       'coins' => int 5
