Saving session data

[eluser]dgriffter[/eluser]
Hi,

I'm saving a session variable in a view file using the following code:

$this->session->set_userdata('message', 'bling bling bling');


I then try to access the saved message later in the same view file like so:

<p>&lt;?php $this->session->userdata('message'); ?&gt;</p>



I'm getting an empty paragraph... can anyone please help?

Thanking you kindly,

Dgriffter

I don't think the &lt;?php tags will display content you need the &lt;?= tags

eg

Code:

<p>&lt;?= $this->session->userdata('message'); ?&gt;</p>

the php tags will execute php code but not display it.

gtech is right you either need to do as he suggested and use the short tags or you can add echo.

Code:

<p>&lt;?php echo $this->session->userdata('message'); ?&gt;</p>

The echo treatment surely worked.... thank you, you guys/girls are fantastic.

Very much appreciated,
