Introduction

[](#introduction)

Before using sessions, it's probably a good idea to start the session.

```
$session = eden('session')->start();

```

The session returned is an array object and can be used like a normal array.

```
$session['me']    = array('name' => 'John', 'age' => 31);
$session['you']    = array('name' => 'Jane', 'age' => 28);
$session['him']    = array('name' => 'Jack', 'age' => 35);

foreach($session as $key => $value) {
	echo $value['name'];
}
