Using SWFUpload + Sessions + upload class, how I did it.

Well, after a lot of bloody time thinking about it, I came up with the following for CI 1.7.1+

Dont hack Session.php, create a MY_Session.php so you're not touching the core.

Copy the sess_read() and _set_cookie() functions into it.

The first few lines look like this: (we're basically allowing the encrypted, serialized cookie data to be posted by the JS)

Code:

<?php if (!defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

class MY_Session extends CI_Session
{

    var $cookie_data = FALSE;
    
    /**
     * Fetch the current session data if it exists
     *
     * @access    public
     * @return    bool
     */
    function sess_read()
    {
    
        // Fetch the cookie or post data
        $session = ($this->CI->input->post('cookie_data')) ? $this->CI->input->post('cookie_data') : $this->CI->input->cookie($this->sess_cookie_name);

Then, just before the setcookie() function in _set_cookie add:

Code:

$this->cookie_data = $cookie_data;

In your view set:

Code:

post_params: {"cookie_data": "<?=$this->session->cookie_data?>"},

Working for me, can't see any security issues with it but if anyone can see one let me know, peer review away
