Adding session data

[eluser]elmne[/eluser]
I'm trying to add session data using the Hybrid session like this

Code:

$newdata = array(
        'arrival_date' => $this->input->post('arrival_date'),
        'departure_date' => $this->input->post('departure_date')
        );
        
        $this->session->set_userdata($newdata = array(), $newval = '');

And i try to display it like this

Code:

<?php echo $this->session->userdata($arrival_date) ?>

But i get the following error message

Message: Undefined variable: arrival_date

How do i get to store information in the session then call it for display?

I created the session in the controller contructor using

Code:

$this->session->sess_create();

Replace this 4th line by this...

$this->session->set_userdata($newdata = array(), $newval = '');

to this...
$this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

Actually both won't work!

Saving the data

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata('some_name_to_identify', $variableyouwishtosave);

Retrieving the data

Code:

$somevariableyouwishtorestore = $this->session->userdata('some_name_to_identify');

Woops, I just read you are using hybrid sessions which I am not familiair with... My code is for the build in session class...

I'm not sure about the hybrid session class but should it not be this instead to retrieve?

Code:

<?php echo $this->session->userdata('arrival_date') ?>

Typically data would be inserted first with:

Code:

<?php $this->session->set_userdata('arrival_date', $value); ?>

Thanks, i removed

Code:

= array(), $newval = '');

when adding data to the session, i just did this

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

@elmne
Is u'r script working right now as u wanted to... ?

[eluser]elmne[/eluser]
Yes it's working.

I used something like this to add data to the session

Code:

$newdata = array(
        'arrival_date' => $this->input->post('arrival_date'),
        'departure_date' => $this->input->post('departure_date')
        );
        
        $this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

Then i use something like this to display a given session item's value

Code:

<?php echo $this->session->userdata('arrival_date') ?>
