CI Sessions - No user data

[eluser]robjstanley[/eluser]
That could take a while and isn't it irrelivent? as the same exact problem occurs now.

take a look at http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...sions.html : "Note: The Session class does not utilize native PHP sessions. It generates its own session data..bla..bla"... I want to help you debug your code, and i think we should fix it at CI spec, not php native session spec.

what CI version you use?

Here is your problem, you are autoloading the session library the session library automatically starts the sessions! So you do not need to use session_start(); By doing that you are creating a new session everytime.

Code:

function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        session_start();     // <-- Remove this you our autolaoding the sessions no need to start it!
        //$this->logged_in();      
    }

Code:

<?php

class Login extends Controller {
    
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        //$this->logged_in();      
    }
    
    function index()
    {
         $data['content'] = 'login';
         $this->load->view('template',$data);        
    }
    
    function validate()
    {        
        $this->load->model('user_model');
        $id = $this->user_model->validate();
        
        if($id) // if the user's credentials validated...
        {
            $data = array(
                'user_id' => $id,
                'is_logged_in' => true
            );
            $this->session->set_userdata($data);
            redirect('/panel');
        }
        else // incorrect username or password
        {
            $this->index();
        }
    }
}

Code:

<?php

    class View extends Controller{
      
       function __construct()
        {
            parent::Controller();
       }
    
        function index()
        {
            $this->load->model('reviews_model');
            $this->load->model('news_model');
            $this->load->helper('img_helper');
                    
            $data['review'] = $this->reviews_model->latest();
            $data['recent'] = $this->reviews_model->recent();
            $data['news'] = $this->news_model->latest();
            
            $data['content'] = 'home';
            $this->load->view('template',$data);
        }
}

I added session_start for the native php sessions. i wasn't autoloading the session library.

Theres seems nothing wrong with that. What version of CI you use?

[eluser]robjstanley[/eluser]
1.7.1

[eluser]toopay[/eluser]
are you say : "i wasn’t autoloading the session library."...lol, i ask you before this and you say you set session in autoload. Check your autoload.php in config folder, and check if you set something like

Code:

$autoload['libraries'] = array('session');

[eluser]robjstanley[/eluser]
I was autoloading it when i was using CI sessions, not when i was just using plain old PHP Sessions.
