weird sessions problem

[eluser]AtlantixMedia[/eluser]
Hello,

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this:

I have a table where I store error messages which are then retrieved by a function, stored in a session cookie, and retrieved once again by the controller for showing.

Code:

$url = 'whatever';
$Msg = $AdminMsg[$code]['AdminMsg_Msg'];    
$Tmr = $AdminMsg[$code]['AdminMsg_Timer'];

$str = $Msg . '|' . $Tmr . '|' . $url;
$CI->session->set_userdata('msg', $str);

now for some messages, this works perfectly. for others, it doesn't, meaning the $str is not successfully stored by set_userdata. for example, the msg

"Your optional info has been changed.<br />
You will now be redirected to your account page"

is among those that don't work when it gets assigned to $Msg directly from the db table array. However, if I do this:

Code:

$Msg = "Your optional info has been changed.<br />
You will now be redirected to your account page";

it works perfectly. can someone shed some light on this? I'm totally lost. thanks

hello,

thanks for your reply. not sure if that's the case though. as I said, it WORKS if I put the message contents inside a local variable as opposed to getting them from the db. then again, it doesn't work only with some messages

any other idea? thanks

So what happens when you:

Code:

print_r($AdminMsg[$code]['AdminMsg_Msg']);

Also, shouldn't the following have a $this-> preceding the CI?

Code:

$CI->session->set_userdata('msg', $str);

Code:

[/quote]

the message gets printed ok

[quote author="sandwormusmc" date="1199412108"]

Code:

$CI->session->set_userdata('msg', $str);

[/quote]

the function is in a helper file. that is the reason $CI is used instead of $this

again, this works with most messages, but not all
