I'm using Cake v1.3.5 and I'm trying to simply set a flash message in
the controller and display it in the view. When I pr() my $_SESSION
data I can see the message that was set. But the Session helper
apparently does not know about it. (The Session component, however,
can read it right back out of the session.)
Controller:
$this->Session->setFlash('No password entered.');
View:
<?php
pr($_SESSION);
pr($session->read('Message'));
if ($session->check('Message.flash')) { echo $session->flash(); }
?>
Output from the pr() calls above:
$_SESSION (successfully retains the setFlash values):
Array
(
[Message] => Array
(
[flash] => Array
(
[message] => No password entered.
[element] => default
[params] => Array
(
)
)
)
[urlBackTrack] => Array
(
[0] =>
[1] =>
[2] =>
[3] => /users/log_in
[4] => /users/log_in
)
)
$session->read('Message'): Nothing!!!
Even if I pr($session) -- the session Helper Object itself -- it gives
me helper properties but no actual session information:
SessionHelper Object
(
[helpers] => Array
(
)
[__active] => 1
[valid] =>
[error] =>
[_userAgent] => dbecc025bb81ed93c9d1a29b62c7bb07
[path] => /
[lastError] =>
[security] => low
[time] => 1291063357
[sessionTime] => 1291099357
[cookieLifeTime] => 2160000
[watchKeys] => Array
(
)
... etc
So, if PHP sessions are working, but Cake is not, then it is something
about Cake's session wrapper functionality that is problematic. My
core.php has:
Configure::write('Session.save', 'php');
Configure::write('Session.timeout', '120');
Configure::write('Session.start', true);
Configure::write('Session.checkAgent', true);
Configure::write('Security.level', 'low');
Why isn't the Session helper working?
