如何在codeigniter 3数据库中设置会话？

Question

I'm using the new version(3.0.0). of CodeIgniter and I have a new problem, my sessions doesn't work. I mean, the code in the controller is correct because there are not errors but, when I try to print a PHP variable in a view there is nothing.

I checked my table in the MySQL Server, and nothing, I don't now what is the problem. I put my code of config.php. (I don't understand a lot of things in this new version)

$config['sess_table_name']              = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_driver']              = 'database';
$config['sess_cookie_name']             = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration']          = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path']               = NULL;
$config['sess_match_ip']                = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update']      = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy']  = FALSE;

I have to add the first line to "make" sessions works, I don't know if that configuration is correct to make sessions in a database.

If somebody has the same problem, help me please :( . My Session class has not been edited.

Answer 1

First of all CI3 session table and CI2 session table( Saving Session Data to a Database)structure is different

New session table structure

 CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (
    `id` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
    `ip_address` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
    `timestamp` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
    `data` blob NOT NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY (id),
    KEY `ci_sessions_timestamp` (`timestamp`)
);

Second They support old configuration variables with new configuration but it is better to use new configuration

$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_sessions';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions';//its your table name name
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;

See more details at their docs

Few new feature(function) available for session library.

Remember Don't forget it to load via autoload.php or loading $this->load->library('session'); before use it.
