SessionEncrypt
==============

[](#sessionencrypt)

This is a custom encrypted session handler for PHP (using `session_set_save_handler`). It is compatible with just about any version of PHP out there and doesn't use the newer `SessionHandler`interface.

### Example Usage

[](#example-usage)

```

```

The value for `$salt` should be as randomized as possible as it's used to encrypt the data with `mcrypt_decrypt`. The handler uses `MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_256` and `MCRYPT_MODE_CBC` to encrypt the data. It will store the session files in the path defined by the `session.save_path` or, if it's not set, will default to `/tmp`.

**NOTE:** Because of the need for encryption in this handler, you are *required* to have the `mcrypt` functionality included in your PHP installation.
