New CI 1.7 session class database error

Hi there, thought I could contribute with some notes as well...

I had trouble with MySQL and the new Sessions library too. Had to set the user_data column to allow NULL values to work. BUT, there was another problem that was causing the session to instantly logout.

So, if you were using a check with the strict equality or strict inequality operator, like this:

if ($this->session->userdata('logged') !== TRUE) {

It will not work anymore, because Codeigniter serializes it as '1' instead of TRUE. If you use cookies, maybe it will still work. For my sessions to work I had to change the '!==' to '!='.
