CodeIgniter 3.0 KCFinder Integration Script

Tiger Fok / July 8, 2015July 13, 2015 / Programming

CodeIgniter sessions and PHP native session both works fine.
But not together.

Mixing CI sessions and native session in CodeIgniter always causing troubles.

Script outside CI cannot access CI Session, no even $_SESSION native session created inside CI script.

The real problem is KCFinder use $_SESSION to control various things (Include access control).
But it can’t access anything created by CI scripts.

So I can either make KCFinder read CI session or let CI use native session.

CodeIgniter not running cronjob configed by cPanel

Tiger Fok / October 31, 2012March 23, 2014 / Linux, Programming

Must use /usr/local/bin/php instead of /usr/bin/php / php / php-cgi
Or otherwise PHP will only run index.php without arguments, which produces empty result.

CPanel is bugging me always.

FirePHP Firefox extension causing CodeIgniter session lost

Tiger Fok / August 7, 2012January 28, 2014 / Linux, Programming

Recently I ran into problems in all CodeIgniter projects using session library.

Symptom: session_id is being reset randomly and all session data are lost.

After an hour of tracing I finally found the “bug”:

FirePHP modified the User Agent string when FireBug enabled
CodeIgniter destroy the current session due to invalid User Agent
New session started, old session data lost

To fix the problem just disable $config['sess_match_useragent'] in config.php,
or disable “Modify User-Agent Header” in FirePHP option (recommended).

P.S. I used to think it’s related to an old CodeIgniter AJAX bug and $config['sess_time_to_update'], but finally found they are totally irrelevant.
