i have been creating a login recently and i'm at the part where i have to create a session where its encrypted and a cookie is set. To be safe i wanted to store the session id in my database and do a match each time the session comes up to validate if a new session should be created or not. I am confused on how to do most of these functions. i have tried but i'm not sure if i have dont it correctly.
i got up to creating a session where it gets encrypted but i'm stuck on if the session was successful or not. I'm also lost on how to produce a session id. Assistance needed.
Code:
if ($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
$this->load->view('loginview');
}
else {
$this->load->model('loginmodel');
$username = $this->input->post('username');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
if ($this->loginmodel->check_login($username, $password)){
//echo 'your in';
$this->start_session();
}
else {
echo 'Username or password is invalid, try again';
}
}
}
function start_session() {
// loading sessions
$this->load->library('session');
$this->load->library('encrypt');
//$store_sess_data = array ('logged_in' => TRUE, 'user_id' => $username, 'last_active' => 'timestamp')
$whats_on_sess = $this-> session->set_userdata(array (
'logged_in' => TRUE,
'session_ID =>
'user_id' => $username,
'last_active' => 'timestamp')
);
$encrypt_sess = $this->encrypt->encode($whats_on_sess);
$this->load->view('sessionview');
}
