Codeigniter session with multi-dimensional array - php

Question

Check user credentials from model and set userdata there and user logged in successfully but in view i want to show logged in username.But I can't pass logged in value in view .Always return count value 0 in view file.But I don't know why I can't get value when i call the set session data.Thanks in advance for your help.
My model code:
function auth($email, $password, $remember=false)
{
// make sure the username doesn't go into the query as false or 0
if(!$email)
{
return false;
}
$this->db->select('*');
// $this->db->where('active', 1);
$this->db->where('email', $email);
$this->db->where('password', sha1($password));
$this->db->limit(1);
$result = $this->db->get('guests');
$result = $result->row_array();
if (sizeof($result) > 0)
{
$admin = array();
$admin['front_user'] = array();
$admin['front_user']['id'] = $result['id'];
$admin['front_user']['firstname'] = $result['firstname'];
$admin['front_user']['lastname'] = $result['lastname'];
$admin['front_user']['email'] = $result['email'];
$admin['front_user']['mobile'] = $result['mobile'];
if($remember)
{
$loginCred =
json_encode(
array('username'=>$username, 'password'=>$password));
$loginCred = base64_encode($this->aes256Encrypt($loginCred));
//remember the user for 6 months
$this->generateCookie($loginCred, strtotime('+6 months'));
}
$this->session->set_userdata($admin);
return $admin['front_user'];
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
And my controller code:
function login(){
//echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST);die;
$this->load->library('form_validation');
$this->form_validation->set_rules
('email', 'Email', 'trim|required|max_length[32]');
$this->form_validation->set_rules
('password', 'Password', 'required|min_length[4]');
if ($this->form_validation->run() == TRUE)
{
$email = $this->input->post('email');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
return $return = $this->login_model->auth
($email,$password,'','');
if($return){
echo 1;die;
}else{
echo 'Email or Password invalid';
}
}
else{
echo validation_errors();
}
}
And my view file:
<?php
if(count($this->front_user)>0):?>
<a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" >
<?php echo $this->front_user['firstname']?>
</a>
<a href="<?php echo site_url('front/account/logout')?>" >
<i class="fa fa-sign-out pull-left"></i>
<?php echo lang('logout')?>
</a>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if(count($this->front_user)<1):?>
<a href="#" >
<?php echo lang('login')?>
</a>
<a
<?php echo lang('signup')?></a></li>
<?php endif;
?>
This is my primary view loading method in controller
function index()
{
$data['meta_description'] = $this->setting->meta_description;
$data['meta_keywords'] = $this->setting->meta_keywords;
$data['page_title'] = lang('home');
$data['banners'] = $this->homepage_model->get_banners();
$data['testimonials'] = $this->homepage_model->get_testimonials();
$data['room_types'] = $this->homepage_model->get_room_types();
$data['coupons'] = $this->homepage_model->get_coupons();
//$data['testimonials'] = $this->testimonial_model->get_all();
//echo '<pre>'; print_r($data['coupons']);die;
$this->render('homepage/homepage', $data);
}
And I send login credentials via ajax request and get value into that
view via ajax
$( "#signinForm" ).submit(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var form = $(form).closest('form');
call_loader();
$.ajax({
url: SITE_URL+'/front/homepage/login',
type:'POST',
data:$("#signinForm").serialize(),
success:function(result){
//alert(result);return false;
console.log(result);
if(result==1)
{
toastr.success('You Logged In Successfully');
//location.reload();
window.location.reload()
}
else
{
remove_loader();
toastr.error(result);
//$('#err').html(result);
}
}
});
});
this is java script code.

If($this->session->has_userdata($array['front_user']){
echo $this->session->userdata($array['front_user']['first_name']);
}
