Codeigniter - get all users session data

Question

I need to get all sessions data and take some actions upon them, is there any possible way to get them, I found how to solve it in php but codeigniter use's it own custom sessions library.

Native php

$_SESSION

How can I do it in codeigniter

Solution 1

To get all session data you can use $this->session->all_userdata();

To print all your session variable use this line anywhere in your code :

echo '<pre>'; print_r($this->session->all_userdata());exit;

Solution 2

You can use db session. So data will be stored to the database. See Saving Session Data to a Database

If you have no database support just use cookie and get the data with

$username = 'John Doe';
$this->session->set_userdata('username',$username);
$var = $this->session->userdata;
echo $var['username'];

Solution 3

To get all users session data.First we need to initialize the Session class manually in our controller constructor use following code.

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

Then we use following code.

$this->session->all_userdata();

Above function return an associative array like the following.

Array
( [session_id] => 4a5b5dca45708ab1a84364eeb455j007 [ip_address] => 127.0.0.1 [user_agent] => Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_7; [last_activity] => 1102132923
)

If you want to see everything the way I've done it is to cast $this->session as array then print_r it.

        $this->load->library('session');
        echo "<pre>". print_r((array)$this->session, true) ."</pre>";

Hope this helps.
