hey!

i think that basically, Yii::app()->session[‘yourVarName’] is what you need

i’m using this method to count hits on a page:

controllers/SiteController.php:




	public function actionIndex()

	{

		if(!isset(Yii::app()->session['ic'])){

		    Yii::app()->session['ic'] = 1;

		    Counter::model()->updateCounters(array('counterCount' => 1), 'counterId = :id', array(':id' => 1));

		}


		$this->render('index');

	}

so, the code to store session var:




    Yii::app()->session['ic'] = 1;

and to retrieve the value




    $anyVar = Yii::app()->session['ic']

hope it helps!

regards!!

:)

You can also use the properties of CUser, they are saved in the session.
