I pulled this from my post over at phpacademy and poseted it here as well as I seemingly am getting no hits over there.

So I am following along with the phpacademy - codeigniter video tutorials for creating a user registration & login. I am currently on video 7 which deals with session data.

here is the link to the video => http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpUqyTRxb...0E6A01B1E0

All was going well until I set the session data to display in the members page, at that point my data displayed just as it does in the video minus the email and is_logged_in.

in the video it shows as

Array(
[session_id] => ---------------------
[ip_address]=> ------------------
[user_agent]=> ---------------------
[last_activity] => -------------------
[user_data] =>
[email] => -------------------------
[is_logged_in] => 1
)

mine has shown as

Array(
[session_id] => ---------------------
[ip_address]=> ------------------
[user_agent]=> ---------------------
[last_activity] => -------------------
[user_data] =>
)

right then I knew something fishy was going on but I continued anyway with the video doing the restricted.php so now I login (with valid credentials) but still receive the redirect to the restricted page. I can only assume this is because my in my session data my [is_logged_in] is not => 1

I have gone over my code a hundred times and from what I see it matches up with the video tutorial but something obviously is incorrect.

from my main controller

Code:
public function members() {

  if ($this->session->userdata('is_logged_in')) {

   $this->load->view('members'); 

  } else {

   redirect('main/restricted');

  }

 }

 public function restricted() {

  $this->load->view('restricted');

 }

 public function login_validation() {

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

  $this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'required|trim|xss_clean|callback_validate_credentials');

  $this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'required|md5|trim');

  if ($this->form_validation->run()){

   $data = array(

    'email' => $this->input->post('email'),

    'is_logged_in' => 1

   );

   $this->session->set_userdata($data);

   redirect('main/members');

  } else {

   $this->load->view('login');

  }

 }

from my members page

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

&lt;html lang="en"&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

 &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt;

 &lt;title&gt;Members Page&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<div id="container">

 <h1>Members Page</h1>

 &lt;?php

 echo "<pre>";

 print_r($this->session->all_userdata());

 echo "</pre>";

 ?&gt;

</div>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

As always any help is appreciated (im sure its something obvious but bare with me I 'm a noob. ) Thanks in advance
