Hi guys,
I note ExpressionEngine overrides the CI session class and removes some functionality like the set_userdata() method. I’m having a really hard time trying to understand why such a fundamental part of the sessions class has been removed? In fact there isn’t a mechanism to add any information to the session at all based on what I can see in the EE_Session class.
I’m stuck having to revert back to using php sessions to store some information between pages… which I’m not very keen on.
Even reading the documentation, a means to add information to the session is never addressed, as if it’s strange that someone would want to do that.
Has anyone explained why this is the case? I haven’t had much luck finding any answers from Ellislab in Google.
Thanks guys.
