Help: Having set_userdata issues

[eluser]bretticus[/eluser]
Hmmm... then perhaps it's not getting set because of this line (unless your test was in the if statement but even then this may apply...)

Code:

if($this->uri->segment(3)!=NULL){
            $this->session->set_userdata('currentprojectid',$this->uri->segment(3));
            //Update user default project
            $this->db->where('id',$this->session->userdata('userid'));
            $this->db->update('users',array('defaultproject'=>$this->uri->segment(3)));
        } else {
            //Select default project from database
            //redirect('projects/$projectid/');
        }

$this->uri->segment(3) should return a string or boolean false (never NULL. See manual.) It's it's FALSE, it's not NULL. Perhaps if set_userdata gets a FALSE value, it doesn't get set.

As for debugging I recommend netbeans, xdebug and xdebug helper. See setup instructions.
