Session

PSR-11 compatible easy to use library for managing PHP built-in sessions. PDO handler included.

Requirements

• PHP >= 7.1

How to install

Add this line to your composer.json file:

"delfimov/session": "~1.0"

or

composer require delfimov/session

How to configure

The session management system supports a number of configuration options
which you can place in your php.ini file or redefine in your code.

The most important settings with recommended values:

session.name = PHPSESSID
session.gc_probability = 1
session.gc_divisor = 1000
session.gc_maxlifetime = 2592000
; lifetime of sessions = 60*60*24*30 = 30 days
session.use_cookies = 1
session.use_only_cookies = 1
session.cookie_lifetime = 2592000
; same as session lifetime

I highly recommend to use https protocol and marks the cookie as accessible
only through the HTTP protocol.

session.cookie_secure = 1
session.cookie_httponly = 1

See PHP Sessions Runtime Configuration
for more details.

An example

See example directory for sources.

require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
$session = new DElfimov\Session\Session(
    new DElfimov\Session\Handlers\PDOHandler(
            new \PDO('mysql:dbname=testdb;host=127.0.0.1', 'dbuser', 'dbpass')
    )
);
$session->set('a', 'value a');
try {
    echo $session->get('a');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}
if ($session->has('b')) {
    echo 'Wonder!';
}
$session->remove('a');

• Better code coverage
• Handlers
