• Using the start session middleware

Using the start session middleware

This middleware use the default php session mechanism adapted to Psr-7 request and response flow. The default php session cookie is disabled and the session id is manually stored in a cookie readed from the Psr-7 request and attached to the Psr-7 response.

By default values returned by session_name() and session_get_cookie_params are used to build the session cookie. An optional array of options can be given to the middleware in order to overwrite those default values:

• (string) name: the session cookie name
• (string) path: the session cookie path
• (string) domain: the session cookie domain
• (int) lifetime: the session cookie lifetime in second
• (bool) secure: whether the session cookie should only be sent over secure connections
• (bool) httponly: whether the session cookie can only be accessed through the HTTP protocol

The middleware can of course be used after the SessionHandlerMiddleware from ellipse/session-handler in order to use a custom session handler.

<?php

namespace App;

use Ellipse\Session\StartSessionMiddleware;

// All middleware processed after this one will have acces to the $_SESSION data.
// The session cookie name will by 'my_session_cookie'. See above for other options.
$middleware = new StartSessionMiddleware([
    'name' => 'my_session_cookie',
]);
