Class: HTTP_Session  - X-Ref

Class for managing HTTP sessions

Provides access to session-state values as well as session-level
settings and lifetime management methods.
Based on the standart PHP session handling mechanism
it provides for you more advanced features such as
database container, idle and expire timeouts, etc.

Example 1:

<code>
// Setting some options and detecting of a new session
HTTP_Session::setCookieless(false);
HTTP_Session::start('MySessionID');
HTTP_Session::set('variable', 'Tet string');
if (HTTP_Session::isNew()) {
echo('new session was created with the current request');
$visitors++; // Increase visitors count
}

//HTTP_Session::regenerateId();
</code>

Example 2:

<code>
// Using database container
HTTP_Session::setContainer('DB');
HTTP_Session::start();
</code>

Example 3:

<code>
// Setting timeouts
HTTP_Session::start();
HTTP_Session::setExpire(time() + 60 * 60); // expires in one hour
HTTP_Session::setIdle(time()+ 10 * 60);    // idles in ten minutes
if (HTTP_Session::isExpired()) {
// expired
echo('Your session is expired!');
HTTP_Session::destroy();
}
if (HTTP_Session::isIdle()) {
// idle
echo('You've been idle for too long!');
HTTP_Session::destroy();
}
HTTP_Session::updateIdle();
</code>
