Any Codeigniter users here?

If yes, have any of you had trouble with its session class? Their forums include mention of cookie trouble on IE7, but I'm also getting users reporting problems with sessions not being set across other browsers. Have had to go back to the native PHP session functionality.

I've played with it, but never got serious. You using the latest version?

 

[midrange]

Yeah, the latest version. They apparently rewrote the session class for the latest versions, but there are still problems.

Other than that, it's a nice framework, quick to both learn and develop in.

Ok, what settings have you set for Session? Using DB or cookie?

 

[midrange]

I enable the DB for session use and that seemed to clear up the problem with IE7 - for a while. The problem seems to be that everything is fine the first time a cookie is created, thereafter the session fails until cookies are cleared. Using the session table sorted that out, but then someone had trouble in Firefox, which I couldn't replicate on my side. So I went back to good ol' $_Session.

I found this post in the CI forums that points to 2 interesting links:
Which session library to use? Any suggestions? (Thread), and
Dariusz Debowczyk's Session Class. Have you taken a look at them?

EDIT: Take a look at this post in particular - it may solve your initial problem.

Sorry, I know this is OT but bleh, I stay away from frameworks that are written in PHP4.

 

[midrange]

Thanks Raithlin. I'd seen that last thread before. Will give Dariusz's class a try on the next project.
