PHP Redis JSON Session

Save your PHP sessions in Redis formatted as JSON, so that you can share your session data with non-PHP applications.

Dependencies

• PHP >= 7.0
• Redis
• PHP Redis extension
• php.ini value session.serialize_handler must be php (this is the default)
• PHPUnit 5.5.4 (for testing only)

Getting Started

• See docs/example.php for an example of how to setup the handler
• php.ini value session.gc_maxlifetime is used to set session key expiration dates in Redis

Running Tests

Assuming phpunit is installed and in your PATH, you can run tests by making run_tests.bash executable by typing chmod u+x run_tests.bash and running tests by typing ./run_tests.bash.

Caveats

If your session data is binary encoded, see http://us.php.net/session_decode for example code on how to unserialize binary encoded session data, and adapt the unserializeSessionData function appropriately (Note you are on your own for how to serialize the JSON session data to binary).
