README

This library will allow to handle PHP session in a databases. This is mainly for authenticated sessions and to maintain sessions between many php servers instances. It also allow to have more than one http request at once after session start.

Prerequisites

Composer requirements

"php": "^7.3|^7.4|^8",
"illuminate/database": "^6|^7|^8|^9",
"symfony/var-dumper": "^5|^6"

Database

Minimum for getting this code to work is to have a Database with a table named "sessions" declared like follow

--
-- Table structure for table `sessions`
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `sessions`;
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `sessions` (
  `id` varchar(32) NOT NULL,
  `timestamp` int(10) UNSIGNED DEFAULT NULL,
  `data` mediumtext,
  `created_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  `updated_at` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `timestamp` (`timestamp`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

Database should be declared in your app before loading the session using Illuminate capsule manager

Code declaration in php (sample)

This is the way to call this function

use Pitch7900\SessionsHandler\DBSessionsHandler;

session_cache_limiter('public');
ini_set("session.cookie_httponly", 1);
session_name('APPS_SESSID');

//Use a custom SessionHandler Based on database.
$handler = new DBSessionsHandler(3600,'user',$rootPath."/logs/sessions.log",false);
session_set_save_handler($handler, true);
session_start();

DBSessionsHadnlder Declaration

By default a non authenticated session will only last 30 seconds of iddle.

Pitch7900\SessionsHandler\DBSessionsHandler::__construct

__construct

<?php
public function __construct(
    int $session_duration = 3600,
    $authenticatedUserValue = null,
    ?string $logfile = null,
    bool $debug = false
) { }
@param int $session_duration : duration in seconds for an authenticated session

@param string $logfile : logfile for debug

@param bool $debug : enable debug mode 

@param mixed|null $authenticatedUserValue : String Value to lookup for an authenticated user. This can be changed depending on how you authenticate your sessions

@return void
