Saving session data

[eluser]dgriffter[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm saving a session variable in a view file using the following code:

$this->session->set_userdata('message', 'bling bling bling');


I then try to access the saved message later in the same view file like so:

<p>&lt;?php $this->session->userdata('message'); ?&gt;</p>



I'm getting an empty paragraph... can anyone please help?

Thanking you kindly,

Dgriffter
