use Zend\Session\Container; // We need this when using sessions
class IndexController extends AbstractActionController {
protected $usersTable;
public function getUsersTable() {
if (!$this->usersTable) {
$sm = $this->getServiceLocator();
$this->usersTable = $sm->get('Application\Model\UsersTable');
}
return $this->usersTable;
}
public function indexAction() {
$request = $this->getRequest();
if ($request->isPost()) {
$user = $request->getPost('txtuser');
$pass = $request->getPost('txtpassword');
$wher = array('username' => $user, 'password' => $pass);
$resultSet = $this->getUsersTable()->fetchbyWhere($wher);
//var_dump($resultSet);
if($resultSet)
{
$user_session = new Container('user');
$user_session->ses_user = $resultSet->username;
return new ViewModel(array(
'msg' => 'valid user',
'sesuser' => $user_session->ses_user,
));

else {
return new ViewModel(array(
'msg' => 'not a valid user',
));
}
} else {
return new ViewModel();
}
}
}

You need to add session container in your header file as well.
Add following line in your header file.
<?php
use Zend\Session\Container; // We need this when using sessions
$user_session = new Container('user');
if(isset($user_session->ses_user))
echo "user:".$user_session->ses_user;
?>
