So I've googled this a fair bit and not having much luck.
The difficulty I'm having is the fact that codeigniter keeps creating new session id's every 5 minutes (as by design apparently). I know I can change the sess_time_to_update to a long period of time but this feels like a hack way of dealing with the situation.
Before I begin, I'm using a database for sessions.
My logic is as follows;
A user logins, in.
I store the session_id against the user in the user table.
I have a controller that checks to see whether a user is logged in on various pages.
This queries the user table for a matching session_id, of which after 5 minutes there is not.
How can I update my user table with the new session_id once codeigniter creates one ?
I've also been having issues implementing a remember me cookie, but I'll come to that once I've resolved this.
In case its needed;
Code:
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200; // 2 hours
$config['sess_expire_on_close'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_encrypt_cookie'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_use_database'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_table_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_match_useragent'] = TRUE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300; // 5 minutes
