How to store variable in session codeigniter

codeigniter, php, session, session-variables

Solution

Simple :

First, load this library

$this->load->library('session');

Then, to add some informations in session :

$newdata = array(
                   'username'  => 'johndoe',
                   'email'     => 'johndoe@some-site.com',
                   'logged_in' => TRUE
               );

$this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

Next, if you want to get values :

$session_id = $this->session->userdata('session_id');

And to remove :

$this->session->unset_userdata('some_name');
