Session persistence problems

[eluser]Nick Jennings[/eluser]
Hi Everyone,

I'm new to CodeIgniter and am trying to implement some basic session management, but it seems everytime I reload the page, I get a new session_id. Am I missing some key element here? I've read the docs on sessions and don't see anything wrong I'm doing.

Here is a simple test case:


In the controller I use:

Code:

$this->load->library('session');

In before passing to the view, I grab the session ID:

Code:

$data['session_id'] = $this->session->userdata('session_id');

When I print the session_id var in the view, I get a new session ID on each page reload.

I think I'm overlooking something very simple, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
