CodeIgniter Session will not be saved

Experts,

i have a little Problem with my sessions. I want to save my login data into the session like this:

checklogin Controller

$user = $this->user_model->user($email, $password);
$user["logged_in"] = TRUE;
var_dump($this->session->set_userdata($user)); // return NULL? is this correct?
var_dump($this->session->all_userdata()); //return the correct data

Now the Session is saved up to a redirect.

Other Controller

var_dump($this->session->all_userdata()); // return session_id,… and a empty user_data array

I think I have the same Problem with the Shopping Cart Class.

Can anyone help?

Solution

try this..

$user = $this->user_model->user($email, $password);
$user["logged_in"] = TRUE;
$this->session->set_userdata('user',$user);  //set session of users with a name user.

to get the session value u can do..

print_r($this->session->userdata('user')); // prints the user session array..
