i cannot find the sess_use_database on my config.php in code igniter.

this are the only codes that i have.

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = NULL;
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;

For using database session change session_driver to 'database'

$config['sess_driver'] = 'database';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
// Table name ci_sessions
$config['sess_save_path'] = 'ci_sessions'; 
$config['sess_match_ip'] = TRUE; // I use true
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
SQL

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `ci_sessions` (
    `id` varchar(40) NOT NULL,
    `ip_address` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
    `timestamp` int(10) unsigned DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL,
    `data` blob NOT NULL,
    KEY `ci_sessions_timestamp` (`timestamp`)
);
Then autoload session

$autoload['libraries'] = array('session');
If you choose to use files session:

Create a session path example:  FCPATH . 'applcation/cache/ or create own folder if your using files. In the application folder when make your new session storage folder has chmod 700 permission

$config['sess_driver'] = 'files';
$config['sess_cookie_name'] = 'ci_session';
$config['sess_expiration'] = 7200;
$config['sess_save_path'] = FCPATH . 'applcation/cache/';
$config['sess_match_ip'] = FALSE;
$config['sess_time_to_update'] = 300;
$config['sess_regenerate_destroy'] = FALSE;
Then autoload session

$autoload['libraries'] = array('session');
