$f3->reroute() Clears Flash Messages

[conleec]

Has anybody figured out a way to maintain the $_SESSION variable on a redirect, when using Fat Free Framework? Currently, anytime I use a redirect, my Flash Messages get cleared and will not display.

For instance, in the following code, neither message displays:

if ($verifyUser) {
    $this->createUserSession($verifyUser);
    if ($_SESSION['user_premium'] == 2) {
        // Admin, so go to admin dashboard
        $this->flash->addMessage('You\'re logged in as Administrator.', 'success');
        $this->f3->reroute('/admin/index');
    } else {
        // Regular user, so go to regular dashboard
        $this->flash->addMessage('You\'re logged in as a registered user.', 'success');
        $this->f3->reroute('/dashboard/index');
    }
}

Flash messaging works perfectly when redrawing a page (when validating forms, for instance), but anytime I reroute, the session variable seems to get cleared.

Any thoughts are gratefully accepted.

Are you sure session_start() is being called in this particular case?

Instead of checking the session value with $_SESSION[], try using $f3->get('SESSION.user_premium') which will automatically ensure your session is started.

I'm not sure what createUserSession() does, but using the Hive access methods for session ensures that your session is started.

Thanks richgoldmd,

I have a couple things to check, and I will definitely look into your suggestion. Slammed at my REAL job today, so probably not until this evening...
