How to Maintain two sessions in single site....

Can anybody help to handle two session data sequencly........

What do you mean by handling two sessions? A user that has two parallel sessions?

[eluser]esra[/eluser]
Are you trying to simulate multiple treads, possibly by starting a second session for batch processing (generating a PDF or document conversions, etc.) or another form of simultaneous process?

One session for login users....... and

another session for shopping cart( we are implementing shopping cart)

store all of the information in the one session
Just make arrays of data in the session

Hi tonanbarbarian.......

Yours is correct in case of registered users..........we can maintain in single session .

what about in case of not register.....how to maintain session....

[eluser]tonanbarbarian[/eluser]
sessions do not HAVE to be used for just registered users. you can use a session to store any information you want
if for example you want to store 2 things in the session, the user_id of the logged in user, and their favorite colour that they picked on one of the pages (just thought of anything for the second)
You would store them in 2 seperate variabled in the session

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata('user_id', $user_id);
$this->session->set_userdata('fav_colour', $fav_colour);

So what I would do then is by default set the user_id to 0. Any user_id that is not 0 is for a registered user.
This is fairly common practice

I am creating two session .........i am getting that.....problem is (in case destroy session) as shown below


user for login registration(first session )

for login.....following code uses
$userdata_data = array( 'USER_ID' => 'asdfs34534',
);
$this->session->set_userdata($userdata_data);
-------------------------------------------------------------------

shopping cart products(second session)

$products = array( 'products' => 'slkdfj4545',
);
$this->session->set_userdata($products);
-----------------------------------------------------------------

if i use
$this->session->sess_destroy();

It will kill both sessions. so what to do to kill only users session......

[eluser]tonanbarbarian[/eluser]

Code:

$userdata_data = array( ‘USER_ID’ => null,
);
$this->session->set_userdata($userdata_data);

set the user_id to something like null and use that as your check to see if they are logged in or not
