Yii Session Variable

Question

I am working with session variable in YII framework.

I have created session variable in Site controller

as like

public function authenticate()
{
    $user=UserSignupForm::model()->findByAttributes(array('emailid'=>$this->username));
    if($user===null)
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_USERNAME_INVALID;
    else if ($user->password!==($this->password))
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_PASSWORD_INVALID;
    else {
        $connection=Yii::app()->db;
        $sql="select rolename from rolesinfo where roleid IN (select roleid from     userroles where userid IN (select userid from userinfo where emailid='$user->emailid')) ";
        $command = $connection->createCommand($sql);
        $roles = $command->queryAll();
        // $this->setState('roles',$roles['0']['rolename']);
        // $this->setState('user', $user->username);
        $this->errorCode=self::ERROR_NONE;
        Yii::app()->session['role1']=$roles['0']['rolename'];
        $s=Yii::app()->session['role1'];
    }
}

I am getting session value within this controller.

But I redirected to another controller. Its session variable not retained and its get destory.

Please suggest any idea.

instead of doing in controller you can make it up in user identity class and merge the session variable in the user variable,access via Yii::app()->user->yourvariable — Sudhanshu Saxena
ya you are right But scope destroyed when redirect method called. — Sampathkumar

I thinks this link can help you: Yii 1.1: Add information to Yii::app()->user by extending CWebUser

Have a great day.

basically:

put id by session see: Yii 1.1: How to add more information to Yii::app()->user
create class WebUser extends CWebUser in components or other visible folder, something like this:

class WebUser extends CWebUser {

  // Store model to not repeat query.
  private $_model;

  // Return first name.
  // access it by Yii::app()->user->first_name
  function getFirst_Name(){
    $user = $this->loadUser(Yii::app()->user->id);
    return $user->first_name;
  }

  // Return first name.
  // access it by Yii::app()->user->first_name
  function getRole1(){
    $user = $this->loadUser(Yii::app()->user->id);
    #find role
    return $role; #return role
  }

  // Load user model.
  protected function loadUser($id=null)
    {
        if($this->_model===null)
        {
            if($id!==null)
                $this->_model=User::model()->findByPk($id);
        }
        return $this->_model;
    }
}
?>
