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.

:crown: Session2DB

A drop-in replacement for PHP's default session handler which stores session data in a database, providing both better performance and better security and protection against session fixation and session hijacking.

Session2DB implements session locking - a way to ensure that data is correctly handled in a scenario with multiple concurrent AJAX requests.

It is also a solution for applications that are scaled across multiple web servers (using a load balancer or a round-robin DNS) and where the user's session data needs to be available. Storing sessions in a database makes them available to all of the servers!

The library supports "flashdata" - session variable which will only be available for the next server request, and which will be automatically deleted afterwards. Typically used for informational or status messages (for example: "data has been successfully updated").

Session2DB is was inspired by John Herren's code from the Trick out your session handler article and Chris Shiflett's articles about PHP sessions and based on Zebra_Session.

The code is heavily commented and generates no warnings/errors/notices when PHP's error reporting level is set to E_ALL.

Requirements

PHP 7.x with the mysqli extension activated, MySQL 5.x+ (recommanded: mysqlnd extension)

How to install

How to use

After installing, you will need to initialise the database table from the install directory from this repo, it will containing a file named session_data.sql. This file contains the SQL code that will create a table that is used by the class to store session data. Import or execute the SQL code using your preferred MySQL manager (like phpMyAdmin or the fantastic Adminer) into a database of your choice.

*Note that this class assumes that there is an active connection to a MySQL database and it does not attempt to create one!
