Redis Session Handler
=====================

[](#redis-session-handler)

This package allows you to replace PHP's default session handling with a Redis-based alternative.

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

1. Require this package in your project: `composer require dxw/session-handler-redis`
2. Before you start your session, configure your Predis client, pass it to the Handler class, and call `session_set_handler()` with that Handler, e.g. ```
    $client = new \Predis\Client([
      'scheme' => 'tcp',
      'host'   => 'redis',
      'port'   => 6379,
    ]);

    session_set_save_handler(new \SessionHandlerRedis\Handler($client));
    ```
3. Then call `session_start()` when needed

Development
-----------

[](#development)

This package implements the script-to-rule-them-all pattern.

`script/update` to install the dependencies `script/test` to run the tests
