how to pass a variable from one controller to the other in Code igniter

Question

I have just started learning Code Igniter .

I want to know how can I pass a variable from one controller(first_cont.php) to other controller (second_cont.php) ?

Answer 1

If you are using session in the first controller then dont unset that session in first controller, instead store the value which you want in the other controller like,

$sess_array = array('value_name1' => 'value1', 'value_name2' => 'value2');
$this->session->set_userdata('session_name', $sess_array);

then reload this session in the other controller as

$session_data= $this->session->userdata('session_name');
$any_var_name = $session_data['value1'];
$any_var_name = $session_data['value2'];

this is how you can pass values from one controller to another....
