\#AkrabatSession

This ZF2 module is intended to make it simple to change the settings of a session; specifically the most common change required is to set a name for the cookie used to hold the session id.

\##Installation

You have a number of choices for installing `AkrabatSession`:

### with Composer

[](#with-composer)

Add `"akrabat/akrabat-session": "dev-master"` to your `composer.json` file and run `php composer.phar update`.

### as a Git Submodule

[](#as-a-git-submodule)

Clone this project into your `./vendor/` directory:

```
    git submodule add git://github.com/akrabat/AkrabatSession.git vendor/AkrabatSession

```

You can also just clone the module into your `./vendor/` directory or download it via the 'Zip' button on github.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Once you have installed AkrabatSession, you need to enable it by editing `config/application.config.php` and adding `AkrabatSession` to the `modules`section.

To configure the session as you required, add the following to your `config/autoload/global.php` file:

```
    'session' => array(
        'name' => 'MY_SESSION_NAME_HERE',
    ),

```

Add additional configuration keys as needed.

### Available configuration keys

[](#available-configuration-keys)

The available configuration options are in the `Zend\Session\Config\SessionConfig`and `Zend\Session\Config\StandardConfig` classes. Most map to the PHP level [session directives](http://www.php.net/manual/en/session.configuration.php)

Some of the more useful ones are:

- `name` - Name of the session
- `remember_me_seconds` - Number of seconds to make session sticky, when rememberMe() is called. Default is 2 weeks (1209600 seconds)
- `save_path` - By default, the path where the session files are created
- `cookie_httponly` - Marks the cookie as accessible only through the HTTP protocol.
- `use_only_cookies` - Specifies that only cookies are used and not session ids in URLs
- `cookie_secure` - Specifies that cookies should only be sent over secure connections

Note: `AkrabatSession` sets the `cookie_httponly` and `use_only_cookies` settings to true

Session storage and save handler classes
----------------------------------------

[](#session-storage-and-save-handler-classes)

If you need to set the SessionMangers's storage or save handler class, then simply create a ServiceManager alias of `session_storage` or `session_save_handler`.
