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.

Storageless sessions using encrypted cookies as session handler
This library is a drop-in replacement for traditional session stores like filesystem, database, memory, etc.. Use this library to leverage browser cookies as session store and gain scalability without the maintenance of traditional session stores.
Install
Install via composer as metarush/cookie-sessions
Usage
-
Generate an encryption key by typing
vendor/bin/generate-defuse-keyin your terminal. - Define cookie options (refer to the options parameter of the \setcookie() function).
Note: Don't set expires option, this library will use the session.gc_maxlifetime ini directive instead.
-
Set the custom session handler on top of your script.
- Use
$_SESSIONSnormally
Notes
- This library uses
defuse/php-encryptionfor encrypting session data in cookies - Keep the
$secretKeyhidden from public - Browsers generally have 4,000 bytes total cookie limit per domain
- An E_USER_WARNING will be thrown if you're trying to set a session variable that is equivalent to >= 4,000 bytes (in encrypted form)
- The limit counts data in encrypted form which is equivalent to roughly 1,900 of unencrypted data
- The limit doesn't account for other session data already written or scripts using cookies on the same domain
- Minimize session/cookie variables per domain to give way to other scripts if applicable
