Abollinger\Session is a PHP library designed to manage user session-related functionalities. It offers an easy-to-use interface for session management, user authentication, login, and logout processes, leveraging PHP's native session handling mechanisms and SQLite for token storage.

Features

• Session Management: Automatically initializes a session if not already active.

• User Authentication: Supports authentication checks with token validation, including cross-server requests.

• Login and Logout: Provides methods to securely log in and log out users, managing session variables and database records.

• Error Handling: Logs errors for debugging and ensures secure exception handling.

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• SQLite3 extension enabled

You can install the Abollinger\Session package using Composer. Run the following command:

composer require abollinger/session

$isAuthenticated = $session->isLoggedAndAuthorized($isSameServer = true);

if ($isAuthenticated) {
    echo "User is authenticated!";
} else {
    echo "Authentication failed.";
}

Logout

    "userId" => "exampleUser123"
