README

This library provides a way to encode and decode default session data.

Installation

The suggested installation method is via composer:

composer require psr7-sessions/session-encode-decode

Why this library?

PHP's native session_encode() and session_decode() functions has some limitations:

• session_decode()

  • Can't be used if there's no session active
  • Populates the super global $_SESSION variable automatically

• session_encode()

  • Do not accept parameters, so you can't use it to encode the content you want.
  • Depends on $_SESSION global state

Encoding

(new PSR7SessionEncodeDecode\Encoder())->__invoke(['counter' => 2]); // 'counter|i:2;'

Decoding

(new PSR7SessionEncodeDecode\Decoder())->__invoke('counter|i:2;'); // ['counter' => 2]
