SESSION variables not working from controller to controller??

[Augusto Canessa]

Hi!

I don't know what I am doing wrong here. I'm working on a login / logout module.

I auth against the DB to know is the user credentials are ok, if they are.....i want to set a session variable and use it in the controllers beforeRoute to check. 

Problem is that, the variables comes empty from one controller to the other....

In the same controller, this prints "123" 

$this->f3->set('SESSION.z',123);

echo "VAR:". $this->f3->get('SESSION.z');

this prints nothing:

controller 1

$this->f3->set('SESSION.z',123);

controller 2

echo "VAR:". $this->f3->get('SESSION.z');

Here is my code:

class BaseController{

    protected $f3;    

    function __construct() { 

        $f3=Base::instance();

        $this->f3=$f3;

    }

       

}

class LoginController extends BaseController{

public function index(){

$view=new View;

        echo $view->render('app/views/login/LoginView.php');

}         

        public function check(){         

            $username = $this->f3->get('POST.username'); 

            $password = $this->f3->get('POST.password');

            $db = new \DB\Mongo('mongodb://XXXXXXXXXXX','XXXXXXXXX');

            $user = new \DB\Mongo\Mapper($db, 'user');

            $auth = new \Auth($user, array('id'=>'username', 'pw'=>'password'));

            $result = $auth->login($username,$password); // returns true on successful login

            if ($result == 1){

                $feedback = "";

                //new \DB\Mongo\Session($db);

                $this->f3->set('SESSION.z',123);

                echo "VAR:". $this->f3->get('SESSION.z'); //PRINTS 123

                

                //$this->f3->reroute('/home'); //-------------GO TO HOME!

            }else{

                $feedback = "Username or password incorrect";

            }

            

            $this->f3->set('username',$username);

            $this->f3->set('password',$password);

            $this->f3->set('feedback',$feedback);

            $view=new View;

            echo $view->render('app/views/login/LoginView.php');

        }

}

class HomeController extends BaseController{

public function index(){        

            echo "VAR:". $this->f3->get('SESSION.z'); //<----------------------EMPTY VALUE....

$view=new View;

        echo $view->render('app/views/home/HomeView.php');

}

}

Strange.. maybe you can try this very simple snippet, just to check that no application code interferes:

$f3->route('GET /test',function($f3){

  if ($var=$f3->get('GET.var')) {

    $f3->set('SESSION.var',$var);

    $f3->reroute($f3->PATH);

  }

  echo $f3->get('SESSION.var');

});

A call to "/test?var=foo" should output "foo".

If it doesn't work, have a look at PHP session configuration, in particular the settings related to cookies.

Hi! Thank you for the help, but it's not working :(

I thought about php.ini but I have a few Joomlas and two Moodles + WordPress and no problem with sessions there....

What am I doing wrong here?

You can you use Chrome's dev tools to check if cookies are properly saved. It should be under the Resources tab

[Anatol Buchholz]

Is it working for you with a normal php session syntax?

$f3->route('GET /test',function($f3){

  if ($var=$f3->get('GET.var')) {

     session_start();

     $_SESSION['var'] = $var;

     $f3->reroute('/stest');

  }

});

$f3->route('GET /stest',

    function() {

        session_start();

        echo $_SESSION['var'] ."<br>";

        echo session_save_path();

    }

);

Further as Dim Kas suggests check if your browser has a session cookie with developer toolbar +  check if you have corresponding file in your session_save_path() if not I would guess something is wrong with your setup php.ini etc or wrong chmod of your session directory.

Hi, I tried this code by xfra3 and It didn't work. So I went to use sessions with mongo in the end, and that worked. I have to come back and see what the problem was, is in my to do list.

Thanks!!!

$f3->route('GET /test',function($f3){

  if ($var=$f3->get('GET.var')) {

    $f3->set('SESSION.var',$var);

    $f3->reroute($f3->PATH);

  }

  echo $f3->get('SESSION.var');

});

A call to "/test?var=foo" should output "foo".

What session handler have you enabled? Cache? SQL?

[ethanpil]

Don't know if this helps you, but I was having similar issues because I was using  die() to output some json_encode() and it was preventing the session vars from setting.

[SOLVED]   F3 SESSION variables fine : https://fatfreeframework.com/session

I figured out my issue. I was calling $db->begin(); and not using it throughout the rest of my controller file. This (somehow) caused all the $f3->set('SESSION.VAR','VAL'); to not stick.
