Thanks for responding, jakelehner and Aken.
I tried using $this->CI->email, but I got the same error. As it turns out, I did try and load the email library again, which got me further along, but I hit another error. That error was due to my using a port that my hosting provider does not allow me to send email through. The next thing is determining why I can't send to certain domains through port 25 (probably because they;re blocked because of spam), and which port I should use.
Jake, thanks for your suggestion. I tried setting the update time to 5 seconds, but I was not logged out after refreshing after five seconds. I've scoured the internet about this problem, and mine seems to be fairly unique - it seems I've created a problem in how I handle checking sessions. I am going to wait until I am logged out randomly again, and see what is in the email.
And hey, if you can think of any other reasons why sessions are being destroyed randomly, in a general context, throw them my way- I can use some ideas at this point!
thanks again!
