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

[](#initphp-redis-session-handler)

> ## ⚠️ DEPRECATED — Use [`initphp/sessions`](https://github.com/InitPHP/Sessions) instead
>
> [](#️-deprecated--use-initphpsessions-instead)
>
> As part of the InitPHP package consolidation, **this package has been merged into [`initphp/sessions`](https://github.com/InitPHP/Sessions)**, which already ships with a more capable Redis adapter (TTL support, native `ext-redis` integration, typed exceptions, and a unified `Session` API across PDO, Memcache, Redis, Cookie, File and MongoDB backends).
>
> This repository is kept read-only for historical reference. **No bug fixes, security updates or new features will be released.**

> ### Migration
>
> [](#migration)
>
> **Before** (`initphp/redis-session-handler`):
>
> ```
> $redis = new \InitPHP\Redis\Redis([
>     'host' => '127.0.0.1',
>     'port' => 6379,
> ]);
>
> $handler = new \InitPHP\RedisSessionHandler\Handler($redis);
> session_set_save_handler($handler, true);
> session_start();
> ```
>
>
>
> **After** (`initphp/sessions`):
>
> ```
> use InitPHP\Sessions\Session;
> use InitPHP\Sessions\Adapters\RedisAdapter;
>
> $adapter = new RedisAdapter([
>     'host'     => '127.0.0.1',
>     'port'     => 6379,
>     'database' => 0,
>     'ttl'      => 86400,
>     'prefix'   => 'sess_',
> ]);
>
> Session::createImmutable($adapter)->start();
> ```
>

> See the [Sessions README](https://github.com/InitPHP/Sessions#redis-adapter-usage) for the full set of options.
