Overview
--------

[](#overview)

The Session class is a library for working with sessions in PHP. It requires PHP version 5 or higher. It can store user session data in a database. It works with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. It automatically creates a table in the database, if one does not already exist, to store session data.

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

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install the Session library is using [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require toropyga/session
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Default parameters can be pre-configured either directly in the class itself, or by using named constants. Named constants, if needed, should be defined before the class is called — for example, in a configuration file — and they determine the default settings.

- SE\_LIVETIME - lifetime of a simple (guest) session, in seconds
- SE\_LIVETIME\_REM - lifetime of a saved (remembered) session, in seconds
- SE\_NAME - session name
- SE\_USEDB - whether to use a database (true|false)
- SE\_SECURE - the "secure" security parameter for the COOKIE (true|false)
- SE\_HTTPONLY - the "httponly" security parameter for the COOKIE (true|false)
- SE\_SAMESITE - cross-domain cookie transfer policy (lax|strict|none)
- SE\_USE\_TMPL - create a dedicated directory (folder) for storing session files (true|false)
- SE\_TMPL\_NAME - name of the directory used to store sessions
- SE\_USE\_SERVER\_NAME - use the server name when creating the directory (true|false)
- SE\_USE\_SDIR - use the standard folder for storing sessions (true|false)
- SE\_LOG\_NAME - name of the file the log is saved to
- SE\_DEBUG - enable or disable debugging and logging

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
require_once("vendor/autoload.php");
```

Initialize the class

```
$SE = new Toropyga\Session();
```

Usage example
-------------

[](#usage-example)

```
$SE = new Toropyga\Session();
$SE->setDebug(true); // enable debugging
$SE->sessionInit();
```
