$this->load->library('encrypt');
$original_string_after_decode = $this->encrypt->decode('encoded_string ');
this code encodes and than decodes the given string properly
but when i set this encoded_string into cookie and after logout when i try to decrypt this encoded_string i am not able to decrypt this
i am using encryption key set in config file.
you need to put your encode string which is store in variable $encoded_string
try
$original_string_after_decode = $this->encrypt->decode($encoded_string);
