Whenever i try check for a value in my userdata column of my session

  • 0

Whenever i try check for a value in my userdata column of my session it thinks it’s blank, when it’s actually in the ci_sessions table serialised.

here’s the db content unserialised:

array (
  'user_data' => '',
  'edit' => 
  array (
    'image_id' => 'HF',
    'session_id' => '783c15b057bcd9c19d3fd82f367ee55d',
  ),
)

here’s how im checking for the userdata in my view (note sessions are autoloaded)

<?php if ($this->session->userdata('edit')) : ?>

enter code here

and here’s how i set the session userdata:

            $values = array(
        'image_id' => implode(",",$uploaded_image_ids),
        'session_id' => $this->session->userdata('session_id')
        );

        $this->session->set_userdata('edit', $values);

Can anyone see the problem? (whole controller here http://pastebin.com/aXeRn1VN)
Also heres my config.php http://pastebin.com/A31nrC1b

    View variables are separate from other variables in CI. I think (am still a bit of a CI newbie) that $this->session is not available in Views. This CI forum post discusses a couple of possible solutions to the problem http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/100587/#508098 – one is to pass the value of ‘userdata’ from the session into the $data array you pass to the view – which seems the best solution.
