Save session data to database in codeigniter

Question

$date['uid']            = $this->session->userdata('id');
//$date['uid']          = $this->input->post('uid');
$date['uname']          = $this->input->post('uname');
$data['title']          = $this->input->post('title');
$data['description']    = $this->input->post('desc');
$data['created']        = date('Y-m-d H:i:s');

I have been trying to save user id in news table where table name is uid. I have tried different methods to do so but in vain

$date['uid']            = $this->session->userdata('id');

when i try to get id using session it returns 0. and even when I try to post uid through form

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

OR

 <input type="hidden" value=<?php echo $_SESSION['id'];?>

it also saves 0 value to database

Did you try like this..

Load session library in application/config/autoload.php .

$autoload['libraries'] = array('session');

Then

$data = array(
            'uid' => $this->session->userdata('id');,
            'uname' => $this->input->post('uname'),
            'title' => $this->input->post('title'),
            'description' => $this->input->post('desc'),
            'created' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s')
            );

//print_r($data);
$this->db->insert('table_name',$data); //inserts into table
