SessionParser
=============

[](#sessionparser)

Use this to iterate through active session files within the defined PHP sessions folder found in `php.ini`

**Hint**: your sessions directory is probably located at `/var/lib/php/sessions/`

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

**WARNING**: Don't keep these files in a `public` folder of any kind.

Due to permission issues you'll likely run into if you attempt to execute this from the browser, use CLI only.

You'll want to have a look at `private static $needle = 'auth|b:1';` in `SessionParser.php` and make the necessary change to reflect your `$_SESSION` key. The Docblock has more info.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

You can pass your session directory to `(new \SessionParser\SessionParser)::init()` as an argument or just use the default as stated in `private static $sessionFolderPath = '/var/lib/php/sessions/';`

You'll likely have to `sudo` the following command for it to work. Or just run as `root`. Whatever works for your ENV.

`$ sudo php -f index.php`

Should return number of active sessions `¯\_(ツ)_/¯`

This is where a check is being made to determine length of time between current time - session file modified time, and if it's within bounds set by `static::$sessionGcMaxlifetime` then `static::$counter` is iterated.

```
if (time() - $file->getCTime()
