Basic examples

Set a new session

In order to set a new session, you'll need to create a new session entity.

$manager = new SessionManager();
$testSession = new SessionEntity();
$testSession->setName( 'my_session' );
$testSession->setValue( 'Some value in the session' );

$manager->set( $testSession );

Validate a session

If you want to validate a session, simply call the exists method.

$manager = new SessionManager();
if( $manager->exists( 'my_session' ) ) {
	echo 'Exists!';	
}
else {
	echo 'Create session..';	
}

Get a session

Getting the session as an object is even easier. Simply call the get method, with an optional default value.

$manager = new SessionManager();

/** @var SessionEntity $session */
$session = $manager->get( 'my_session' );

If you want to use a default value when the session is not available, you might want to use the default value.

$manager = new SessionManager();

/** @var SessionEntity $session */
$session = $manager->get( 'test_non_existing', 'my value' );
