Why call session not working? - garimapatil - 12-05-2018

my config is like this :

Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';  // select database driver

$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions';  // name of the mysql table

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

$config['sess_expiration']      = 7200;

$config['sess_expire_on_close'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_encrypt_cookie']  = FALSE;

$config['sess_use_database']    = TRUE;

$config['sess_table_name']      = 'ci_sessions';

$config['sess_match_ip']        = FALSE;

$config['sess_match_useragent'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_time_to_update']  = 300;

My autoload is like this :

Code:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('database', 'session', 'form_validation', 'functions');

In controller login.php :

Code:
$this->session->set_userdata('club', 'chelsea');

In controller dashboard.php :

Code:
echo $this->session->userdata('club');

It did not succeed in calling the session club if a different controller
But, when I call session club in the same controller(controller login.php), it's working
I try

Code:
$this->library->load('session');

in the constructor of

Code:
Dashboard.php

. But it's not a success
Any solution to solve my problem?
Thank you

@garimapatil

Instead of this...

PHP Code:
echo $this->session->userdata('club');// [Technically this should work.] 

Try this...

PHP Code:
echo $this->session->club; 

Documentation: https://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html?highlight=session#retrieving-session-data

Are you using any debugging tools?

Also, keep in mind that the login page must be executed first in order for the session variable to be set. If the dashboard page is executed first then the session variable will not exist.

Based on the config items I think the OP is using a CI version < 3.0 and so your suggestion of $this->session->club; won't work.

@garimapatil,

What version of CI are you using?
