@NogDogDec 20.2012 — #I would be a bit surprised if it were a cookie issue, as all the session cookie should include is a session identifier (which is then used to access the session data from wherever you're storing it on the server side.

If the config data is already in a file, it does not seem to me that the file data itself should need to be stored in the session data, but instead just the file path/name (or whatever minimal information is needed to know which file to include or read into a variable, or whatever you need to do with it.

Storing Data To Config File
Hi,
I am having some problems trying to store data into a config file in Codeigniter
[B]The Problem
The session data grows too big and seems to exceed the 4kb which is the cookie max size. As a result for example flashdata stops working.
[B]Why It Happens
It seems that config variables are added 4 times into the session inside of following objects:
– CI_Hooks Object (should be turned off)
– CI_Utf8 Object
– MY_Router Object (used for replacing ‘_’ with ‘-‘ in URL)
– CI_URI Object
Interestingly the hooks object is present even if the functionality is turned off in the config file: $config[‘enable_hooks’] = FALSE;
[B[COLOR=”#FF0000″]]Questions
01 – how do you store config data without it being multiplied in the session?
02 – also, why does the hooks object seem to be enabled when it has been disabled in the config?
[B]Other Details
– CI_VERSION 2.1.3
– Session library is autoloaded
– Sessions are stored into db
– Session cookie is encrypted
– Config files are loaded in the pages where they are used, mainly inside constructors
– The config data is not huge and would fit very well to 4kb if it wasn’t multiplied
Session data ( print_r($this->session) ) :
[hooks] => CI_Hooks Object ( [enabled] => [hooks] => Array ( ) [in_progress] => ) [config] => CI_Config Object ( [config] => Array…
Thanks in advance for your help, it would be much appreciated…
