[SOLVED] Session userdata is being lost

I finally solved this. So Oracle is the culprit here. First it was my error that the user_data field is CLOB but not varchar. You have to use the load method on the CLOB field in PHP to use it as a string. It's kinda messy but I put that in the Session class. Second, the user_data field is in small caps while the result array returns the fields in all uppercase. Which reminds me that I had to make another change to the OCI8 active record driver. It was enclosing the field names in double quotes (") which broke the queries to the Oracle database.
