I've looked around, but I can't seem to find a solution.
I have a drop down menu in my html and when you select one of the option it redirects to a different url in my jquery.
like this
$('#chapter').change(function(){
var chapter = $(this).val();
$(location).attr('href','http://www.writeyourfiction.com/story/readStory/'+chapter);
});
This all works fine, but my issue is when that redirect happens codeigniter seems to be dropping my sessions. I've var_dumped my sessions before the redirect and they are there, but when I ver_dump them again after the redirect the sessions are empty.
Any help would be amazing!
I think so the session class must either be initialized in your controller constructors,by use the $this->load->library('session'); function, Or If sessions data does not exist (or if it has expired) a new session will be created and saved in the cookie.
It is better to load your session library in /application/config/autoload
for jquery with codeigniter drop down you could do something like this i used jQuery Ajax: here is the code example:
<select name="all_users" id="all_users" onchange="javascript:cal_ajax(this.value);">
<?=$my_option_list?>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">
var base_url = '<?=base_url()?>';
function cal_ajax(id)
{
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url: base_url+"history/home/get_users",
data: "userid=" + id,
success: function(result){
$("#Mehdi_ajax").html(result);
}
});
}
</script>
in our controller function for example here in function get_users() you set your redirections
