How to access all userdata via session in codeigniter - php

Question

Please I have created a login and passed email and id and I can access them in my view. But I am unable to access other userdata like name, phone, etc. Am only able to access email, id and session id. Your help is appreciated.
here is my model
public function login($email, $password){
$this->db->select('*');
$this->db->from($this->table);
$this->db->where('email', $email);
$this->db->where('passwd', $password);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this->db->get();
if ($query->num_rows() == 1) {
return $query->row()->uid;
}
else {
return FALSE;
}
}
here is my controller
public function login(){
$this->form_validation->set_rules('email', 'Email', 'trim|required');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'trim|required');
if($this->form_validation->run() == FALSE) {
echo validation_errors('<p class="alert alert-dismissable alert-danger">');
}
else{
//Get post data
$email = $this->input->post('email');
$password = $this->input->post('password');
$enc_pwd = sha1($password);
$id = $this->User_model->login($email, $enc_pwd);
if($id){
$userdata = array(
'id' => $id,
'email' => $email,
'logged_in' => TRUE
);
//Set session data
$this->session->set_userdata($userdata);
//Redirect to Users page
redirect('site/dashboard');
}
else{
//Create Error
$this->session->set_flashdata('error', 'Login credentials are incorrect');
//Redirect to Users page
redirect('site/login');
}
//Add activity
//$this->Activity_model->add($data);
}
//Load the login template
$this->load->view('public/login');
}

You can set your sesssion in the Model
Refer the code below.Check how to set other variables in session
Model
function login($email, $password)
{
$this -> db -> select('*');
$this -> db -> from($this->table);
$this->db->where('email', $email);
$this->db->where('passwd', $password);
$this->db->limit(1);
$query = $this -> db -> get();
if($query -> num_rows() == 1)
{
$row = $query->row();
$data = array(
'email'=> $email,
'id' => $row->id,
'name' => $row->name,
'phone' => $row->phone,
'logged_in' => TRUE
);
$this->session->set_userdata($data);
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
Anywhere you can call that session variable.
