The preferred way to install this extension is through Composer.

Or install it manually:

Download Session.php:

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Josantonius/PHP-Session/master/src/Session.php

Available Methods

Available methods in this library:

- Set prefix for sessions:

Session::setPrefix($prefix);

# Return (boolean)

- Get sessions prefix:

Session::getPrefix();

# Return (string) → sessions prefix

- Start session if session has not started:

Session::init($lifeTime);

# Return (boolean)

- Add value to a session:

Session::set($key, $value);

# Return (boolean true)

- Extract session item, delete session item and finally return the item:

Session::pull($key);

# Return (mixed|null) → return item or null when key does not exists

- Get item from session:

Session::get($key, $secondkey);

# Return (mixed|null) → return item or null when key does not exists

- Get session id:

Session::id();

# Return (string) → the session id or empty

- Regenerate session_id:

Session::regenerate();

# Return (string) → the new session id

- Empties and destroys the session:

Session::destroy($key, $prefix);

# Return (boolean)

Quick Start

To use this library with Composer:

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Josantonius\Session\Session;

Or If you installed it manually, use it:

require_once __DIR__ . '/Session.php';

use Josantonius\Session\Session;

Usage

Example of use for this library:

- Set prefix for sessions:

Session::setPrefix('_prefix');

- Get sessions prefix:

Session::getPrefix();

- Start session:

Session::init();

- Start session by setting the session duration:

Session::init(3600);

- Add value to a session:

Session::set('name', 'Joseph');

- Add multiple value to sessions:

$data = [
    'name'     => 'Joseph',
    'age'      => '28',
    'business' => ['name' => 'Company'],
];

Session::set($data);

- Extract session item, delete session item and finally return the item:

Session::pull('age');

- Get item from session:

Session::get('name');

- Get item from session entering two indexes:

Session::get('business', 'name');

- Return the session array:

Session::get();

- Get session id:
