how to display session data in a view CI

Question

I tried store data in a session using CI in my register function.

public function register(){
    $firstname = $this->input->post('firstname');    
    $email= $this->input->post('email');
    $dev_info = array('fname'=>$firstname, 'eaddress'=>$email);
    $this->session->set_userdata($dev_info);
}

and in my other function verification I want to get the session data and pass to the view

public function verification(){
    $data['fname'] = $this->session->userdata('fname');
    $data['eaddress'] = $this->session->userdata('eaddress');
    $this->load->view('index', $data);
}

and I want to save its value in input type

in the view

<input type="hidden" id="firstname" value="<?php echo $fname?>">
<input type="hidden" id="email" value="<?php echo $eaddress?>">

but i am having a hard time saving its value in an input everytime I check using view source. Please help!

Have you loaded your session library?

you can get session variables one by one also

$first_name    = $this->session->userdata('fname');
$email_address = $this->session->userdata('eaddress');

in view you can use these variables or you can write code for view like this

<input type="hidden" id="firstname" value="<?php echo $this->session->userdata('eaddress'); ?>">
<input type="hidden" id="email" value="<?php echo $this->session->userdata('fname')?>">

print_r($fname) for check you session

you have set same id for both hidden input fields. id must be unique so first change id's

in controller create session for ur input data

$data['fname'] = $this->session->userdata('fname');
$data['eaddress'] = $this->session->userdata('eaddress');

in view retrieve the input data from the session by adding the value by set_value

<input type="hidden" id="firstname" value="<?php echo set_value('fname'); ?>">
<input type="hidden" id="email" value="<?php echo set_value('eaddress'); ?>">
