Detailed Description

Redis based session handler.

The default Redis session handler does not handle locking in 2.2.7, so we have written a php session handler that uses locking. The places where locking is used was modeled from the memcached code that is used in Moodle https://github.com/php-memcached-dev/php-memcached/blob/master/php_memcached_session.c

Member Function Documentation

◆ abort()

core\session\handler::abort ( )
inherited

Release lock on the session without writing it.

May not be possible in older versions of PHP. If so, session may be written anyway so that any locks are released.

◆ handler_close()

core\session\redis::handler_close ( )

Close the session completely.

We also remove all locks we may have obtained that aren't expired.

Return values
booltrue on success. false on unable to unlock sessions.

◆ handler_destroy()

core\session\redis::handler_destroy ( $id)

Handle destroying a session.

Parameters
string$idthe session id to destroy.
Return values
booltrue if the session was deleted, false otherwise.

◆ handler_gc()

core\session\redis::handler_gc ( $maxlifetime)

Garbage collect sessions.

We don't we any as Redis does it for us.

Parameters
integer$maxlifetimeAll sessions older than this should be removed.
Return values
booltrue, as Redis handles expiry for us.

◆ handler_open()

core\session\redis::handler_open ( $savepath,
$sessionname )

Update our session search path to include session name when opened.

Parameters
string$savepathunused session save path. (ignored)
string$sessionnameSession name for this session. (ignored)
Return values
booltrue always as we will succeed.

◆ handler_read()

core\session\redis::handler_read ( $id)

Read the session data from storage.

Parameters
string$idThe session id to read from storage.
Return values
stringThe session data for PHP to process.
Exceptions
RedisExceptionwhen we are unable to talk to the Redis server.

◆ handler_write()

core\session\redis::handler_write ( $id,
$data )

Write the serialized session data to our session store.

Parameters
string$idsession id to write.
string$datasession data
Return values
booltrue on write success, false on failure

◆ init()

core\session\redis::init ( )

Init session handler.

Reimplemented from core\session\handler.

◆ kill_all_sessions()

core\session\redis::kill_all_sessions ( )

Kill all active sessions, the core sessions table is purged afterwards.

Reimplemented from core\session\handler.

◆ kill_session()

core\session\redis::kill_session ( $sid)

Kill one session, the session record is removed afterwards.

Parameters
string$sid

Reimplemented from core\session\handler.

◆ lock_session()

core\session\redis::lock_session ( $id)
protected

Obtain a session lock so we are the only one using it at the moment.

Parameters
string$idThe session id to lock.
Return values
booltrue when session was locked, exception otherwise.
Exceptions
exceptionWhen we are unable to obtain a session lock.

◆ requires_write_lock()

core\session\handler::requires_write_lock ( )
inherited

Has this session been opened with a writelock? Your handler should call this during start() if you support read-only sessions.

Return values
booltrue if session is intended to have a write lock.

◆ session_exists()

core\session\redis::session_exists ( $sid)

Check the backend contains data for this session id.

Note: this is intended to be called from manager\session_exists() only.

Parameters
string$sid
Return values
booltrue if session found.

Reimplemented from core\session\handler.

◆ set_requires_write_lock()

core\session\handler::set_requires_write_lock ( $requireswritelock)
inherited

This is called after init() and before start() to indicate whether the session opened should be writable or not.

This is intentionally captured even if your handler doesn't support non-locking sessions, so that behavior (upon session close) matches closely between handlers.

Parameters
bool$requireswritelocktrue if needs to be open for writing

◆ start()

core\session\redis::start ( )

Start the session.

Return values
boolsuccess

Reimplemented from core\session\handler.

◆ time()

core\session\redis::time ( )
protected

Return the current time.

Return values
intthe current time as a unixtimestamp.

◆ unlock_session()

core\session\redis::unlock_session ( $id)
protected

Unlock a session.

Parameters
string$idSession id to be unlocked.

◆ write_close()

core\session\handler::write_close ( )
inherited

Write the session and release lock.

If the session was not intentionally opened with a write lock, then we will abort the session instead if able.
