FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package lazysession
LazySession
This package allows you to use sessions without having to worry about
whether you have properly called session_start() or not.
Instead of using session_start() on every request, regardless or whether
said request will actually need sessions or not, this class will automatically
start the session when you try to access it's data in any way. By avoiding
session_start() when a request does not need it you improve the usage of
your server's resources, especially since the default method for storing
sessions is using the filesystem, which can be relatively slow.
The interface is very similar to the one used natively by PHP, and allows you to get, create, modify or delete session data via methods, or by using session keys either as array keys or object properties. See example below for clarification.
Although the class provides methods for using common session functions,
for example, to change the session storage path, it is not needed that
such functions be called from the instantiated object, nor are you limited
to the methods that have been implemented to access native functions:
since the class uses the native PHP implementation for sessions, any
session_* function you call in your code will work nicely
with the class.
Installation
From the command line:
composer require alejoluc/lazysession
Or write manually in composer.json:
Example usage: Instantiating the class and accessing session data in a crude login example
Setting, Getting and Deleting
Deleting all session data
Flashing data for the next request
Those familiar with Laravel will most likely be used to flashing data in sessions to be used in the next request. This is possible with LazySession
To retrieve the flashed data in the next request you can either use the specific flashGet() method or use the more general get() method. Both will work.
