在codeigniter中为会话变量添加新值

Question

I am storing username and name in session

foreach($data as  $key=>$val)
                        {   
                            if($val->username == $username && $val->password == md5($password) )
                            {
                                $flag=true;
                                $newdata =array('name'=>$val->name,'username'=>$username);
                                $this->session->set_userdata($newdata);
                                break;
                            }

Now, a user uploads his profile picture, its path gets stored in database, and after that , i am getting that image from database.

public function get_image(){

            $this->load->model('UploadModel');
            $path= $this->UploadModel->get_path();

        } 

If i echo $path i got [{"img_path":"http://205.147.101.117/secureadmin/managment-panel/uploads/download_(1)2.jpg"}]

Now I want to store this path in my session variable , so that everytime i login the profile picture got displayed. Now i have 2 questions : 1) How to store this image path in already created session varible 2) Is there anyother way, to display profile picture..

Thank you, in advance

You need to put session name into session function as like below

$this->session->set_userdata('new_user_session_name', $newdata);
