Ion Auth - Lightweight Auth System based on Redux Auth 2

Hi !

About the Sessions and remember me function.

My remember_me function is currently not working.

Problem: Once I have ticked "Remember me" and login, then close the browser and re-open the webpage on the same browser my session(cookie)is automatically destroyed, but not the session data in the DB. How can I prevent the cookie from being destroyed once I close the browser ?

ps:
the logged_in() function wasn't secure enough. What I did is following:

ion_auth_model

Code:

$hash = $this->hash_string($result->id.$result->password.$identity);
                
                $this->session->set_userdata('hash',$hash);

ion_auth

Code:

public function logged_in()
    {
        $identity = $this->ci->config->item('identity', 'ion_auth');
        
        if($this->ci->session->userdata($identity) && $this->ci->session->userdata('hash'))
        {
            $email = $this->ci->session->userdata($identity);
            $sess_hash = $this->ci->session->userdata('hash');            
            $result = $this->ci->ion_auth_model->get_data('users','id,password',array($identity=>$email),NULL);
            
            if($result)
            {
                $db_hash = $this->ci->ion_auth_model->hash_string($result->id.$result->password.$email);
      

                if ($sess_hash == $db_hash) return TRUE;    //if hash from session variable matches this hash user is logged in
            }
            return FALSE;
        }
        return FALSE;
    }

Code:

public function hash_string($value)
    {
        return sha1($value);
    }

I just hash the user id,password and email address and put it encrypted into session_id. Everytime he logged_in() function is run it checks by getting the DATA from the DB if the hash is matches and redirects accordingly.
