Codeigniter: Accessing session data from array

So I have stored my session data into the session like below:

        $user_data = array(
          'user_id' => $user_id,
          'email' => $email,
          'logged_in' => true
        );

        $this->session->set_userdata('login_session', $user_data);

In my view, I'm trying to echo the email out onto the page but no matter which way I try to access it, it will not echo out:

echo $this->session->userdata('email');

How can I access the array values?

You are storing the values in an array & then assigning that array to a variable called login_session but while retrieving the data you are just accessing with only key and not with array['key'].

So the correct syntax is:

echo $this->session->userdata('login_session')['email'];

OR

$log_sess=$this->session->userdata('login_session');
echo $log_sess['email'];

Please go through the codeigniter document as well.
