Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install this PHP session manager by using composer:

```
composer require internetpixels/session-handler

```

Basic examples
--------------

[](#basic-examples)

### Set a new session

[](#set-a-new-session)

In order to set a new session, you'll need to create a new session entity.

```
$manager = new SessionManager();
$testSession = new SessionEntity();
$testSession->setName( 'my_session' );
$testSession->setValue( 'Some value in the session' );

$manager->set( $testSession );

```

### Validate a session

[](#validate-a-session)

If you want to validate a session, simply call the `exists` method.

```
$manager = new SessionManager();
if( $manager->exists( 'my_session' ) ) {
	echo 'Exists!';
}
else {
	echo 'Create session..';
}

```

### Get a session

[](#get-a-session)

Getting the session as an object is even easier. Simply call the `get` method, with an optional default value.

```
$manager = new SessionManager();

/** @var SessionEntity $session */
$session = $manager->get( 'my_session' );

```

If you want to use a default value when the session is not available, you might want to use the default value.

```
$manager = new SessionManager();

/** @var SessionEntity $session */
$session = $manager->get( 'test_non_existing', 'my value' );

```
