A bunch of random questions that I've put together while working on my first project. any insight would be much appreciated!
Remember Me/Checking Logged in Status
I've implemented a basic login system and there is an option to 'remember me'. If that's done a cookie is set. Usually on regular php sites, I would then have an include that just checks at the top of all protected pages - if session set, else if cookie set...
Where would I put that in this structure? I have a login controller but it seems like this would need to be part of a library/helper so that I can call it throughout various protected sections?
Base URL
Rather than constantly call base_url(), is there any benefit to setting it as a global var? if so, where best to set?
Session Arrays
Can you set a session array var driectly or have to do this ?
Code:
$search= $this->session->userdata('search');
$search['keyword'] = $keyword;
$this->session->set_userdata('search', $search);
Like the input class, does the session class have any type of sanatizing/filtering built-in?
How do I bind a value that's used more than once in an sql query
Code:
AND (first_name LIKE '%?%' OR last_name LIKE '%?%' OR company LIKE '%?%')";
Checking for post values
I understood from the user guide that this would return false, if the post input (happens to be radio) was not clicked:
Code:
if( $find['area'] = $this->input->post('area') ){
But it doesn't it's blank and yet it doesn't return false. Perhaps because it is 'set', but set to blank.
