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.

Informations about the package wp-session-manager

WP Session Manager Build Status Coverage Status

Session management for WordPress.

Description

Adds $_SESSION functionality to WordPress, leveraging the database where needed to power multi-server installations.

Every visitor, logged in or not, will be issued a session. Session data will be stored in the WordPress database by default to deal with load balancing issues if multiple application servers are being used. In addition, the session collection will also be stored in memory for rapid use within WordPress.

Session data stored in the database can be encrypted at rest for better security.

Installation

Manual Installation

  1. Upload the entire /wp-session-manager folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
  3. Use $_SESSION in your code.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add session variables?

Merely use the superglobal $_SESSION array:

How long do session variables live?

This depends on your PHP installation's configuration. Please read the PHP manual for more details on configuration.

Can I use this plugin without creating new tables?

Absolutely! As of version 2.0, this plugin will create a new table for WordPress to store session data. In general, this is more efficient long-term than using options for data storage. However, if your system does not allow creating a table, add the following to wp-config.php to use the options table instead:

I get an error saying my PHP version is out of date. Why?

PHP 5.6 was designated end-of-life and stopped receiving security patches in December 2018. PHP 7.0 was also marked end-of-life in December 2018. The minimum version of PHP supported by WP Session Manager is now PHP 7.1.

If your server is running an older version of PHP, the session system will not work! To avoid triggering a PHP error, the plugin will instead output this notice to upgrade and disable itself silently. You won't see a PHP error, but you also won't get session support.

Reach out to your hosting provider or system administrator to upgrade your server.

I get an error saying another plugin is setting up a session. What can I do?

WP Session Manager overrides PHP's default session implementation with its own custom handler. Unfortunately, we can't swap in a new handler if a session is already active. This plugin hooks into the plugins_loaded hook to set things up as early as possible, but if you have code in another plugin (or your theme) that attempts to invoke session_start() before WP Session Manager loads, then the custom handler won't work at all.

Inspect your other plugins and try to find the one that's interfering. Then, reach out to the developer to explain the conflict and see if they have a fix.
