Login

Hi All

I have recently updated form 2.2.x to 3.0.0 - following the update procedure from codeigniter's website HERE.

I have having real issues with the new session library - heres the issue.

We have a login section which dependant on the subdomain and user/pass credentials will give you certain privileges from ADMIN / RESELLER / CLIENT / USER

In order to determine the correct privileges for the user we have built a customer LIBRARY (location:application/library) which we have called Session_management, this library DOES NOT extend the core SESSION driver/library and never has and has no extension to another class, this library is also auto-loaded, prior to CI 3.0.0 everything was working fine.

First this the Session_management does is __construct()

Code:
               $this->CI =& get_instance();

 $this->CI->load->model('users');

 $this->CI->load->model('clients');

 $this->CI->load->model('sessions');

 $this->CI->load->driver('session');

 $this->CI->load->library('password_hash');

 $this->CI->load->helper('url');

 $this->users = $this->CI->users;

 $this->clients = $this->CI->clients;

 $this->sessions = $this->CI->sessions;

 $this->session = $this->CI->session;

 $this->password_hash = $this->CI->password_hash;

Prior to CI 3.0.0 I has no issues in using the

Code:
$this->CI->load->library('session')

but for some unknown reason (to me) I have to load it through the driver

Code:
$this->CI->load->diver('session');

- if someone could explain why this is would be great.

When a user submits their user/pass credentials a CONTROLLER session/signin is requested which runs firstly form validation, providing everything is successfully, the Session_management login method is called.

Code:
$success = $this->session_management->login($this->input->post('email'), $this->input->post('password'));

In the LOGIN method in the Session_management class a bunch of sessions are set using $this->session->set_userdata()

Code:
               $this->session->set_userdata('user_id', 0);

 $this->session->set_userdata('user_name', '');

 $this->session->set_userdata('client_id', 0);

 $this->session->set_userdata('client_administrator', 0);

 $this->session->set_userdata('reseller_administrator', 0);

However when I var_dump() the session for all its session data it has NOTHING and I can't why this is, no session data is there except my protected fields form the config, which I have double checked and triple checked and are working fine, my sess_save_path is storing the session files correctly, and the rest of the sess configs are also correct.

Code:
$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';

$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';

$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;

$config['sess_save_path'] = '/Users/******/Sites/********/tmp';

$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;

$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

This is a development website on my local OS X iMac, as I say prior to CI 3.0.0 everything was working fine.

Any help or information or anything that could possible put me in the right direction would be appreciated.
