How do I output the current session data.
This is my code in the controller
$this->load->library('session'); //load library of session; encryption key = key
$data['user'] = $this->session->set_userdata('email', 'email@hp.com');
The value that should be outputed in the view is email@hp.com I tried this in the view.php but it is not working.
foreach($user as $row){
$row->email;
}
but it doesnt work. it says invalid argument.
Try like this,
$this->session->set_userdata('email', 'email@hp.com'); // set the session
$data['user'] = $this->session->userdata('email'); // get the session and store it in an array which is passed to the view
and in view file echo the value,
echo $user;
Otherwise, you can directly get the session value in view file like,
$objCI =& get_instance(); //now CI object can be used
$objCI->session->userdata('email');
set_userdata() is used to set data in session, to get session data you should use userdata()
like
$this->session->set_userdata('email', 'email@hp.com');//to set data
$data['user']=$this->session->userdata('email');//to get sessiondata
And in view echo $user; will do.
