Migrations Class
################
-Coming soon. \ No newline at end of file
+Migrations are a convenient way for you to alter your database in a
+structured and organized manner. You could edit fragments of SQL by hand
+but you would then be responsible for telling other developers that they
+need to go and run them. You would also have to keep track of which changes
+need to be run against the production machines next time you deploy.
+
+The database table **migration** tracks which migrations have already been
+run so all you have to do is update your application files and
+call **$this->migrate->current()** to work out which migrations should be run.
+The current version is found in **config/migration.php**.
+
+******************
+Create a Migration
+******************
+
+.. note:: Each Migration is run in numerical order forward or backwards
+ depending on the method taken. Use a prefix of 3 numbers followed by an
+ underscore for the filename of your migration.
+
+This will be the first migration for a new site which has a blog. All
+migrations go in the folder **application/migrations/** and have names such
+as: **001_add_blog.php**.::
+
+ defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
+
+ class Migration_Add_blog extends CI_Migration {
+
+ public function up()
+ {
+ $this->dbforge->add_field(array(
+ 'blog_id' => array(
+ 'type' => 'INT',
+ 'constraint' => 5,
+ 'unsigned' => TRUE,
+ 'auto_increment' => TRUE
+ ),
+ 'blog_title' => array(
+ 'type' => 'VARCHAR',
+ 'constraint' => '100',
+ ),
+ 'blog_description' => array(
+ 'type' => 'TEXT',
+ 'null' => TRUE,
+ ),
+ ));
+
+ $this->dbforge->create_table('blog');
+ }
+
+ public function down()
+ {
+ $this->dbforge->drop_table('blog');
+ }
+
+Then in **application/config/migration.php** set **$config['migration_version'] = 1;**.
+
+*************
+Usage Example
+*************
+
+In this example some simple code is placed in **application/controllers/migrate.php**
+to update the schema.::
+
+ $this->load->library('migration');
+
+ if ( ! $this->migration->current())
+ {
+ show_error($this->migration->error_string());
+ }

+******************
+Function Reference
+******************
+
+There are five available methods for the Migration class:
+
+- $this->migration->current();
+- $this->migration->error_string();
+- $this->migration->find_migrations();
+- $this->migration->latest();
+- $this->migration->version();
+
+$this->migration->current()
+============================
+
+The current migration is whatever is set for **$config['migration_version']** in
+**application/config/migration.php**.
+
+$this->migration->error_string()
+=================================
+
+This returns a string of errors while performing a migration.
+
+$this->migration->find_migrations()
+====================================
+
+An array of migration filenames are returned that are found in the **migration_path**
+property.
+
+$this->migration->latest()
+===========================
+
+This works much the same way as current() but instead of looking for
+the **$config['migration_version']** the Migration class will use the very
+newest migration found in the filesystem.
+
+$this->migration->version()
+============================
+
+Version can be used to roll back changes or step forwards programmatically to
+specific versions. It works just like current but ignores **$config['migration_version']**.::
+
+ $this->load->library('migration');
+
+ $this->migration->version(5);

+**cookie_domain** '' The domain for which the session is applicable
+**cookie_path** / The path to which the session is applicable
+=========================== =============== ==========================================================================
+
+Session Drivers
+===============
+
+By default, the `Cookie Driver`_ is loaded when a session is initialized.
+However, any valid driver may be selected with the $config['sess_driver']
+line in your config.php file.
+
+The session driver library comes with the cookie and native drivers
+installed, and `Custom Drivers`_ may also be installed by the user.
+
+Typically, only one driver will be used at a time, but CodeIgniter does
+support loading multiple drivers. If a specific valid driver is called, it
+will be automatically loaded. Or, an additional driver may be explicitly
+loaded by calling load_driver()::
+
+ $this->session->load_driver('native');
+
+The Session library keeps track of the most recently selected driver to call
+for driver methods. Normally, session class methods are called directly on
+the parent class, as illustrated above. However, any methods called through
+a specific driver will select that driver before invoking the parent method.
+
+So, alternation between multiple drivers can be achieved by specifying which
+driver to use for each call::
+
+ $this->session->native->set_userdata('foo', 'bar');
+
+ $this->session->cookie->userdata('foo');
+
+ $this->session->native->unset_userdata('foo');
+
+Notice in the previous example that the *native* userdata value 'foo'
+would be set to 'bar', which would NOT be returned by the call for
+the *cookie* userdata 'foo', nor would the *cookie* value be unset by
+the call to unset the *native* 'foo' value. The drivers maintain independent
+sets of values, regardless of key names.
+
+A specific driver may also be explicitly selected for use by pursuant
+methods with the select_driver() call::
+
+ $this->session->select_driver('native');
+
+ $this->session->userdata('item'); // Uses the native driver
+
+Cookie Driver
+-------------
+
+The Cookie driver stores session information for each user as serialized
+(and optionally encrypted) data in a cookie. It can also store the session
+data in a database table for added security, as this permits the session ID
+in the user's cookie to be matched against the stored session ID. By default
+only the cookie is saved. If you choose to use the database option you'll
+need to create the session table as indicated below.
+
+If you have the encryption option enabled, the serialized array will be
+encrypted before being stored in the cookie, making the data highly
+secure and impervious to being read or altered by someone. More info
+regarding encryption can be :doc:`found here <encryption>`, although
+the Session class will take care of initializing and encrypting the data
+automatically.
+
+.. note:: Even if you are not using encrypted sessions, you must set
+ an :doc:`encryption key <./encryption>` in your config file which is used
+ to aid in preventing session data manipulation.
+
+.. note:: Cookies can only hold 4KB of data, so be careful not to exceed
+ the capacity. The encryption process in particular produces a longer
+ data string than the original so keep careful track of how much data you
+ are storing.

-Session Preferences
-===================
+To make a new driver, extend CI_Session_driver. Overload the initialize()
+method and read or create session data. Then implement a save handler to
+write changed data to storage (sess_save), a destroy handler to remove
+deleted data (sess_destroy), a regenerate handler to make a new session ID
+(sess_regenerate), and an access handler to expose the data (get_userdata).
+Your initial class might look like::
-You'll find the following Session related preferences in your
-application/config/config.php file:
+ class CI_Session_custom extends CI_Session_driver {
+ protected function initialize()
+ {
+ // Read existing session data or create a new one
+ }
+
+ public function sess_save()
+ {
+ // Save current data to storage
+ }
+
+ public function sess_destroy()

+ public function sess_regenerate()
+ {
+ // Create new session ID
+ }
+
+ public function &get_userdata()
+ {
+ // Return a reference to your userdata array
+ }
+ }
+
+Notice that get_userdata() returns a reference so the parent library is
+accessing the same array the driver object is using. This saves memory
+and avoids synchronization issues during usage.
+
+Put your driver in the libraries/Session/drivers folder anywhere in your
+package paths. This includes the application directory, the system directory,
+or any path you add with $CI->load->add_package_path(). Your driver must be
+named CI_Session_<name>, and your filename must be Session_<name>.php,
+preferably also capitalized, such as::
+
+ CI_Session_foo in libraries/Session/drivers/Session_foo.php
+
+Then specify the driver by setting 'sess_driver' in your config.php file or as a
+parameter when loading the CI_Session object::
+
+ $config['sess_driver'] = 'foo';
+
+OR::
+
+ $CI->load->driver('session', array('sess_driver' => 'foo'));
+
+The driver specified by 'sess_driver' is automatically included as a valid
+driver. However, if you want to make a custom driver available as an option
+without making it the initially loaded driver, set 'sess_valid_drivers' in
+your config.php file to an array including your driver name::
+
+ $config['sess_valid_drivers'] = array('sess_driver');
