Can't get user id from session

Hi again,

Your codes don't look healthy. For example, you are trying to start your session with an email, not with a password match. And your password area doesn't have any encryption. I am leaving my codes below:

PHP Code:

public function login_process (){

 if($this->request->getMethod() == 'post'){
 
 $user_email = strip_tags(strtolower($this->request->getVar('user_email')));
$user_password = strip_tags($this->request->getVar('user_password'));

   $account = $this->UserModel->user_control($user_email);

   if(!$account){
   $session = \Config\Services::session();
 $session->setFlashdata('error', 'No such user in our database');
 return redirect()->to(site_url('/login-page')); // redirects back to user login page
    }else{
 $hash = $account->user_password;
 $user_name = $account->user_name;
 $user_id = $account->user_id;

 if(password_verify($this->request->getVar('user_password'),$hash)){

            $start_session = [
                 'user_email' => $user_email,
                 'user_password' => $user_password,
                 'user_name' => $user_name,
                 'user_id' => $user_id
               ];

      $session = \Config\Services::session();
      $session->set($start_session);

   return redirect()->to(site_url('user-area')); // if everything is OK, redirects to this page

        }else{
          $session = \Config\Services::session();
   $session->setFlashdata('error', 'Wrong Password');
   return redirect()->to(site_url('login-page')); //if the password is wrong, redirects to login page again
 
        }

     }

   }

} 


Within your other methods in controller, just follow this :

PHP Code:

   public function another_method(){

        $session = \Config\Services::session();
 $info = $session->user_email;
 $user_id = $session->user_id;

 if($info !=''){
          // if session matches your email as logged in, do your stuf here
          
          $data['user'] = $this->UserModel->user_control($info);

       //now you can call your user_id anywhere in your view : $user->user_id will give your result

       }else{
          // if no user email in session

         $session->setFlashdata('error', 'Please sign in first');
         return redirect()->to(site_url('user-login'));
        }
}//ends here
