NDB Session Class
Native Session makes good use of PHP’s native session handling abilities, but it does not allow the use of a database for session storage. \ Saving user session data into database is more secure on any type of hosting (Shared ... ). \ This library overwrites normal native sassion functions too save user data directly into database and gives us some extra functions over CI Session. \ \ == Overview ==
\
- Is based on Native Session but has database functionality built in.
- Compatible with CodeIgniter 1.7 +.
- Drop-in replacement for CI’s Session library.
- Config options and flash data are supported but not session encryption.
- When using with a database, only the session_id is stored in a cookie. Any other data is stored in the database (Nativly would be stored to server /tmp ).
- Tested IE6, IE7, IE8, IE9, Firefox 4, Chrome
- PHP5+ \ \ == Donations ==

\ http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/libraries/sessions.html \ \ === **Extras ** ===
- **Write and Access session data from database: ** {{{ #!php $_SESSION['Data'] = 'Value'; // Access, same as $this->session->userdata('Data'); $_SESSION['Data]; // Write, same as $this->session->set_userdata('Data', 'Value'); }}}
- Get User Online Count: {{{ #!php $count = $this->session->users_online(300); // Returns all user which are or were active in last 5 min }}}
- Parsing session data: {{{ #!php // Enable us to access any session data and manage it, usefull for session management system // We just past session data from database into session parse function and parse function will return session data in array style so we can access it
$arr_data = $this->session->parse($session_data); $some_val = $arry_data['session_key']; }}} \ \ == Install ==
\ \
- Download Session Class and copy it to "appliaction/libraries/"
- Insert new database table for Session storage
- Autoload or load CI database Class and Session Class
- Don't forget to setup database configuration
- Have fun \ \ === Differences between NDB Session and CI Session ===
\ \
- Using native PHP Session functions ( Smaller lib. same security )
- No encryption of cookie as only Session ID is stored in cookie (Allready hashed)
- Checking valid Session ID differently ( We dont save IP, Useragent and Activity in cookie)
- Session garbage collector works differently ( Expired data, Useless data)
- After session destroy we create new empty session so u can set new Session data after it
- Some CI Session functions removed as not needet (Functions which PHP does it for us)
- Extras for setting and accessing Session data( $_SESSION['data'] ...) \ \ === Required Database Structure ===
