Hi just before i got this code by googling.

     //path to your database.php file   
     require_once("../frontend/config/database.php");

     $cisess_cookie = $_COOKIE['ci_session'];
     $cisess_cookie = stripslashes($cisess_cookie);
     $cisess_cookie = unserialize($cisess_cookie);
     $cisess_session_id = $cisess_cookie['session_id'];

     $cisess_connect = mysql_connect($db['default']['hostname'], $db['default']      ['username'], $db['default']['password']);
     if (!$cisess_connect) {
       die("
" . mysql_error() . "
");
     }
     $cisess_query = "SELECT user_data FROM ci_sessions WHERE session_id =        '$cisess_session_id'";

     mysql_select_db($db['default']['database'], $cisess_connect);
     $cisess_result = mysql_query($cisess_query, $cisess_connect);
     if (!$cisess_result) {
       die("Invalid Query");
     }
     $cisess_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($cisess_result);
     $cisess_data = unserialize($cisess_row['user_data']);

     // print all session values 
     print_r($cisess_data);
