How to get userdata from encrypted sessions database according to session id?

[eluser]Christophe28[/eluser]
And it works! :-)

First I post the encrypted cookie to the controller (photos/upload) without setting any post_parameters in JavaScript (but using swfupload.cookies.js)

Then I catch the encrypted cookie in the controller, decode it and get the user_data from the sessions database using the session_id from the users cookie.

And there it is without modifying or extending the sessions class :-)

Code:

// catch the encrypted cookie from POST
        $enc_cookie = $this->input->post('my_sess_cook');
        
        // decode the encrypted cookie
        $cookie = $this->encrypt->decode($enc_cookie);
        $session = unserialize($cookie);

        $this->load->model('sessions_model');
        $session_info = $this->sessions_model->get_session_info($session['session_id']);
        
        // unserialize the user_data which was send back from the database
        $user_data = unserialize($session_info->user_data);
        
        // tada
        $username = $user_data['username'];

Glad it works!

Thx for all the help!
