How to store variable in session codeigniter

I would like to store the variable in the session currently i am tryin like this but not working.

In Controller

<?php
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['myvar']='myvalue';
?>
Solution

  • Simple :

    First, load this library

    $this->load->library('session');

    Then, to add some informations in session :

    $newdata = array(
                   'username'  => 'johndoe',
                   'email'     => 'johndoe@some-site.com',
                   'logged_in' => TRUE
               );

$this->session->set_userdata($newdata);

    Next, if you want to get values : 

    $session_id = $this->session->userdata('session_id');

    And to remove : 

    $this->session->unset_userdata('some_name');
