can not store data in codeigniter session

I am trying to store data in my session variable, but i am doing something wrong obviosly.

I have the following code:

       $formValues = $this->input->post(NULL, TRUE);
        echo "Form<pre>";
        print_r($formValues);
        echo "</pre>";
        $this->session->set_userdata($formValues);
        $sessionFormValues = $this->session->userdata('formValues');

        echo "MySess<pre>";
        print_r($sessionFormValues);
        echo "</pre>";

        echo "Sess<pre>";
        print_r($this->session->all_userdata());
        echo "</pre>";

The first print_r returns:

Array
(
    [addtypeid] => 
    [isnew] => 
    [orderby] => 
    [geographicareaid] => 
    [catid] => 1
    [catid2] => 
    [manufacturerid] => 
    [modelid] => 
    [yearofmanufacturing_from] => 
    [yearofmanufacturing_to] => 
    [hoursused_from] => 
    [hoursused_to] => 
    [horsepowers_from] => 
    [horsepowers_to] => 
    [price_from] => 
    [price_to] => 
    [colorid] => 
    [isdamaged] => 
 )

The second print_r returns just MySess (empty array)

while the third print_r returns the following:

Array
(
    [session_id] => 639ca0b53c8e68cda4e6d61605c4d227
    [ip_address] => 94.68.157.85
    [user_agent] => Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/33.0.1750.117 Safari/537.36
    [last_activity] => 1393239192
    [user_data] => 
    [addtypeid] => 
    [isnew] => 
    [orderby] => 
    [geographicareaid] => 
    [catid] => 1
    [catid2] => 
    [manufacturerid] => 
    [modelid] => 
    [yearofmanufacturing_from] => 
    [yearofmanufacturing_to] => 
    [hoursused_from] => 
    [hoursused_to] => 
    [horsepowers_from] => 
    [horsepowers_to] => 
    [price_from] => 
    [price_to] => 
    [colorid] => 
    [isdamaged] => 
)

Anyone can point me what I am doing variable $sessionFormValues returns an empty array? How can i get only the formvalues data in a separate variable?

Regards, John

Your data is getting saved in the session fine but the problem is that the 'formValues' key doesn't exist. You need to change 

$this->session->set_userdata($formValues);

to

$this->session->set_userdata('formValues', $formValues);
