Your thoughs on seperate frontend and backend sessions

Hello When I use have set session in the past for front end and admin I have set them like

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata('admin', array('some admin array items'));

And

Code:

$this->session->set_userdata('catalog', array('some front end array items'));

But I was thinking if could do it this way

My question is. Is the way below OK?

PHP Code:

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI_PATH'] = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
$segments = explode('/', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI_PATH']);

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';

if ($segments[2] == 'admin') {

    $config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'admin_sessions';
    $config['sess_expiration'] = 1440;
    $config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . 'application/cache/session/admin/';

} else {

    $config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'catalog_sessions';
    $config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
    $config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . 'application/cache/session/catalog/';

}

$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE; 


There's only one rule - please don't tell anyone to go and read the manual.  Sometimes the manual just SUCKS!

This is actually a cool idea.
I cannot see anything wrong and I will give this a try myself.

Thanks for sharing

On the package it said needs Windows 7 or better. So I installed Linux.

Very good indeed.
One thing though. Why do you 'calculate' the segment yourself?
The URI class (which is automatically initialized) will do that for you.

Because I can't load uri->segments into the config.php file.
