#Packfire Session
PHP session made easy with Packfire Session library.
Packfire Session aims to abstract and improve the behaviour of PHP Session for out-of-the-box usage with improved security.
##Installation Use Composer to include Packfire Session in your project.
{
"require": {
"packfire/session": "1.0.*"
}
}
Run Composer to install Packfire Session for use with your project.
$ composer install
##Usage
The Session
class is the main class we can work the session from.
To initiate a session:
<?php
use Packfire\Session\Session;
use Packfire\Session\Storage\SessionStorage;
$session = new Session(new SessionStorage());
if (!Session::detectCookie()) { // only register session if cookie is not found.
Session::register(); // session_start();
}
To regenerate a new Session ID (recommended when users sign in / out to improve security):
$session->regenerate();
Invalidate a session (session is kept registered, but all values are cleared, session ID is regenerated):
$session->invalidate();
Destroy a session (session ID is removed entirely):
Session::unregister();
Session Buckets are great way to scope down your session variables. To get started working with session buckets:
$bucket = $session->bucket('form');
$bucket->set('txtName', $_POST['txtName']);
