This is in a controller

class LandingPage extends CI_Controller {
    public function startEncryptedSession(){
    $this->load->library('session'); 
    $this->load->library('encrypt');    

    $this->load->view('index', array('session', $this->session));
}


}

How do I load this in the view index

view code

<?php echo $head; ?>

<body>
    <?php echo $guts; ?>
</body>

<?php echo $foot; ?>
<?php echo $session->userdata('session_key'); ?>

I’m using code igniter MVC

When I load the view, it gives me:

<h4>A PHP Error was encountered</h4>

<p>Severity: Notice</p>
<p>Message:  Undefined variable: session</p>
<p>Filename: views/index.php</p>
<p>Line Number: 8</p>

</div><br />
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Call to a member function userdata() on a non-object

    You need to pass the variables you want to use to your view.
    Something like this:

    One way:

    In your controller:

    public function startEncryptedSession(){
    $this->load->library('session'); 
    $this->load->library('encrypt');
    $data = array('session_key' => $this->session->userdata('session_key'));
    $this->load->view('index', $data);
}

    In your view:

    <?php echo $session_key; ?>

    Another way:

    In your controller:

    public function startEncryptedSession(){
    $this->load->library('session'); 
    $this->load->library('encrypt');    
    $data = array('session' => $this->session->all_userdata());
    $this->load->view('index', $data);
}

    In your view:

    <?php echo $session['session_key']; ?>

    A word of advice: CodeIgniter’s session class kinda sucks, since it stores data on a cookie and has a very low limit of data size (or at least that was how it worked last time I checked)… so you might want to handle it using PHP’s default session functions or creating a class of your own. But I’ll leave that for you to check, since it isn’t what you were asking.
