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 silex-sessions
silex-sessions
cookie icon by Rashida Luqman Kheriwala from the Noun Project
This package provides client side, cookie based sessions for Silex. It is a standalone implementation and does not use Symfony's session mechanism. Session data is stored in a cookie allowing excellent horizontal scalability. The serialized data is encryption using defuse/php-encryption to ensure it is safe in the wild.
Installation
Installation is easy via composer:
Configuration
Firstly you need to add the service provider. There are various configuration options (detailed below) but you must at least provide an encryption key. See the key generation section below for details on creating a secure key.
Configuration options
There are various configuration options you can use, mostly to tweak the cookie storage the session uses. These are:
- cookie.name - The name of the session cookie
- cookie.expire - Expiry time for the cookie - by default when the browser closes
- cookie.path - The cookie path - '/' by default
- cookie.domain - The cookie domain - empty by default
- cookie.secure - Whether the session cookie should only be valid for HTTPS connections
- cookie.http.only - Whether the cookie should only be available via HTTP
- encryption.key - The secure encryption key to use for encrypting and decrypting the cookie payload
Usage
registers a couple of services on the container:
- A service, the standard session interface. This service has the usual , , and methods available.
- If you're using you'll also get a command to use for key generation. NB: Make sure that you register the console provider before the session provider.
Symfony Web Profiler Support
A data collector for the Symfony Web Profiler is included. To use it you need to first add the package to your project. Then enable the web profiler providers like so:
You should then start seeing a new button on the profiler toolbar and a new panel showing the session contents.
Encryption Key Generation
Generating a decently secure encryption key is important to maintain the security of the session data. This package provides a Symfony console command to generate and output an ASCII safe key which you can store in a config file. The console command is added automatically if you're using knplabs/console-service-provider.
