Flight Bag
==========

[](#flight-bag)

Flight bag is a lightweight tool kit for the Flight PHP Framework ()

### How to install

[](#how-to-install)

composer require lawrence72/flightbag

### Sanitizer

[](#sanitizer)

$sanitizer = new Sanitizer(); OR Flight::register('sanitizer', Sanitizer::class);

$text = "Some Text" $new\_text = $sanitizer->clean($text);

#### How to use with HTML tags

[](#how-to-use-with-html-tags)

Include the tags you wish to allow $text = "**Some Text**" $new\_text = $sanitizer->clean($text,\['b'\]);

Sanitizer accepts strings,arrays,objects or Flight Collections

#### Encoding the output

[](#encoding-the-output)

By default, the sanitizer will encode charaters into UTF-8.

This can be turned off by including a NULL value in the clean() method

$new\_text = $sanitizer->clean($text,\[\],NULL);

Or change the encoding to another encoding type by adding the type to the clean() method. $new\_text = $sanitizer->clean($text,\[\],'GB18030');

### Session

[](#session)

$session = new Session(); OR Flight::register('session', Session::class);

$session->set('user\_id', 1);

$has\_user\_id = $session->has('user\_id');

$get\_user\_id = $session->get('user\_id');

$session->remove('user\_id');

$session->destroy();

Session also accepts an optional encryption key. This will encrypt the session data.

$session = new Session('some\_very\_secure\_key');
