Sessions - Please Change

well i can agree the session needs work. And that is exactly what Narf and the team are doing, overhauling the Session class.

until recently i had no real issues with the session in CI. but now that i use 3.0 i am seeing some issues that are bugging me. Namely with flashdata. Even using the keep_flashdata function does nothing to keep the data persistent on the next request.

but like i said, they are working on it. And it is something i eagerly await.

I have suspected that the problem with flashdata is that if the server does some kind of redirect, then you loose the data. This might not be correct, but I have seen what seem like random losses of flashdata in the past and so don't use that as a mechanism.
