User Authentication - Placement of code?

The method mentioned above is the same as the array method you outline, only split up into multiple lines.

That said, unless you have used set_fields, $this->validation->whatever won't exist.
Since the post data is overwritten when the validation runs you could try:

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata('email', $this->input->post('email'));
