How to add session data without using set_userdata? The docs doesn't have an example.

Hi,
The documentation has an example of how to add data using set_userdata.

PHP Code:

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

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


But it says too "You can simply assign data to the $_SESSION array, as with any other variable. Or as a property of  $this->session."

Sorry, but I don't get it. How can I do that with the same example above without using set_userdata?

Cheers!

You can use the session helper 

PHP Code:

session()->set('key',$newdata) 


or 

PHP Code:

$_SESSION['key'] = $newdata 


How about

PHP Code:

$this->session->language = $language; 


Is it ok to do that?
