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

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

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() - $file->getCTime() <= static::$sessionGcMaxlifetime) {
    static::$counter++;
}

Prerequisites

• PHP v7.x (tested on v7.3.11)

After Thoughts

While this program will simply echo the result, there is no reason this cannot be modified to write the result to a file, database, emailed to a recipient, etc.

Contributing

• PSR must be followed.
• All classes MUST implement an interface. Pull requests with classes that do not implement an interface will be rejected.
