README
This library is meant to work as a Session Handler for PHP that is compatible with express-session.
The main motivation for this was the need to share Session between a PHP application and a NodeJS application.
This was inspired on this gist by mscdex, implementing some of its strategies with a SessionHandler
implementation.
Requirements
This library is meant to use the Save Handlers defined on session.save_handler
directive, the library itself doesn't have any code regarding save handlers.
- PHP:
5.6
or greater - phpredis or other Save Handler Extension. (you can install it using
pecl install redis
) - php_serialize Serialize Handler.
NOTE: this was tested using express-session with the connect-redis Session Store. This is supposed to work with any Session Store that stores it's data as JSON.
Installation
Composer
Just run:
composer require danfsd/php-express-session-handler
Setup
Redis
You can set the following directive on php.ini
like the following:
session.session_name = PHPSESSID
session.save_handler = redis
session.save_path = "tcp://127.0.0.1/?prefix=session:php:"
session.serialize_handler = php_serialize
Or you can set it using PHP's ini_set
function like the following:
ini_set("session.session_name", "PHPSESSID"); ini_set("session.save_handler", "redis"); ini_set("session.save_path", "tcp://127.0.0.1/?prefix=session:php:"); ini_set("session.serialize_handler", "php_serialize");
Usage
use danfsd\ExpressSessionHandler; // This is the express-session's secret you defined in your NodeJS application const SESSION_SECRET = "node.js"; $handler = new ExpressSessionHandler(SESSION_SECRET); // Setting the Handler session_set_save_handler($handler, true); // Starting/Recoverying session session_start(); // Populates $_SESSION['cookie'] with data that express-session requires $handler->populateSession(); echo "<pre>"; var_dump($_SESSION); var_dump($_COOKIE); echo "</pre>;"
More examples will be disclosed soon.
