CI Sessions - No user data

[eluser]toopay[/eluser]
Just do this simple test. Make some controller to display session data. And then, check if the session_id changed, if you instantly refresh the page.

Oh i see, then yes.

I just got frustrated and removed all CI sessions and now im using plain old PHP Sessions and the problem is still there! No $_SESSION can be found from the home page.

On clicking home another PHP Session is added voiding the other.

I have never in my life been so stumped when it comes to working with php.

The session works as it should until home is clicked, from there it seems another session is created out of thin air.

Did you mean, everything working fine except if you load specific controller?

[eluser]robjstanley[/eluser]
Yes, the session is started in the login controller.

When the index function of the main view controller is loaded another session is created.

[eluser]robjstanley[/eluser]
Ok i found something out

if i go to "www.site.com/" then the session is created
but if i go to "www.site.com/view/" then it isnt and the original session is created

obviously both urls load the index function of the view controller but with different results.

can you post how your controller looks like...

Login

Code:

class Login extends Controller {
    
    function __construct()
    {
        parent::Controller();
        session_start();
        //$this->logged_in();      
    }
    
    function index()
    {
         $data['content'] = 'login';
         $this->load->view('template',$data);        
    }
    
    function validate()
    {        
        $this->load->model('user_model');
        $id = $this->user_model->validate();
        
        if($id) // if the user's credentials validated...
        {
            $data = array(
                'user_id' => $id,
                'is_logged_in' => true
            );
            $_SESSION['user'] = $data;
            redirect('/panel');
        }
        else // incorrect username or password
        {
            $this->index();
        }
    }    
}

View

Code:

<?php

    class View extends Controller{
      
       function __construct()
        {
            parent::Controller();
            session_start();
            

       }
    
        function index()
        {
            $this->load->model('reviews_model');
            $this->load->model('news_model');
            $this->load->helper('img_helper');
                    
            $data['review'] = $this->reviews_model->latest();
            $data['recent'] = $this->reviews_model->recent();
            $data['news'] = $this->news_model->latest();
            
            $data['content'] = 'home';
            $this->load->view('template',$data);
        }
}
