FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package session

Componenta Session

Framework-agnostic session management for PHP 8.4+: session ids, session data, metadata, storage, serialization, cookies, manager lifecycle, and PSR-15 middleware.

Use this package when the application needs explicit session control instead of relying directly on PHP's global $_SESSION state.

Installation

Requirements

Related Packages

Package Why it matters here
componenta/auth Uses session ids for session authentication.
psr/http-message / psr/http-server-middleware Session middleware reads cookies from PSR-7 requests and writes cookies to PSR-7 responses.
componenta/pipeline Runs SessionMiddleware in the HTTP middleware chain.

Session Data

SessionData stores attributes and flash messages.

Typed getters throw AttributeNotFoundException when a required key is missing and AttributeTypeMismatchException when a value has the wrong type.

Flash messages are meant for the next request:

Session Identity

Empty ids are rejected. SessionIdGenerator creates new ids for fresh and regenerated sessions.

Lifecycle Manager

SessionManager coordinates storage and serialization.

start(null) creates a new session. start($id) reads existing storage and hydrates metadata/data. Broken serialized payloads surface as SessionException.

Storage And Serialization

Storage is abstracted by SessionStorageInterface:

Serialization is abstracted by SessionSerializerInterface:

Use JSON only for data that can be represented safely as JSON arrays/scalars.

Cookies And Middleware

SessionCookieManager reads and writes session cookies using SessionCookieOptions and SameSite.

SessionMiddleware integrates the manager with a PSR-15 pipeline: it reads the request cookie, starts the session, attaches session state, delegates to the next handler, then persists the session and emits the cookie.

Configuration

SessionConfig controls TTL and garbage-collection settings. Storage implementations may use these values differently, but the manager always passes TTL on save and gcMaxLifetime on cleanup.
