PHP Session Manager

Session

A Simple PHP Session Manager

This is a simple session management class in PHP. It implements some security features and magical methods to make it easier to use.

Getting started

Feel free to download and test it. Use the test.php or this readme file as reference.

Getting and initializing Session Manager

To access and use Session from any PHP file, just include and make a instance of it by using the following code:

require_once __DIR__ . '/SessionInterface.php';
require_once __DIR__ . '/Session.php';

$session = new Session(600);

The parameeter 600 means 10 minutes in seconds (10 * 60). This is the amount of time that a session can be without activity before it is automatically destroyed by the system.

Setting session data

You can use both the magic method or the set() method to store a new value in the session.

$session->set('email', '[e-mail]');
$session->name = 'Wanderlei Santana';

Getting session data

As the method above, you can use the PHP magic method or the get method to retrieve data from the session.

echo $session->get('email');
echo "<hr>";
echo $session->name;

Destroying Session

You can destroy all data stored in a session by using the code bellow.

$session->destroy();
