retrieving data from session array in codeigniter

Question

I have multiple checkboxes in my view as

<input type='checkbox' name='seats[]' value='$rowId$columnId'>

These are submitted to the controller and stored in a session

 $data['seats']=$this->input->post("seats");
$this->session->set_userdata($data);

Now how can I retrieve all the checked values one by one in my model.I want to store every checked value as a record in the database.

What you have to do is

$array=$this->session->userdata('seats');

I would sugggest you to look at userguide carefully before putting up a questoin

I've checked the userguide.But how can I retrieve each value of this array?Would I need a foreach loop?

Yes of course. wherever you have doubt about array use print_r($array) to print it and run for loop accordingly

You can set session data,

$this->session->set_userdata('Key','Value');

You can retrieve session data,

$this->session->userdata('Key');
