hs changed, it would be more efficient to update the session after a
user's profile has been updated, then you only need to refer to the
session.
I am 99.9% certain this is not a bug as I update data in this way all
the time.
- How are you reading the UserA data before saving UserB?
- Can you show us these lines of code in your controller?
- If you comment out the reading of UserA before save does the data
array save correctly?
- Have you echoed $this->data before and after save to see what it
contains?
