Member Function Documentation

◆ abort()

core\session\handler::abort ( )

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.

◆ init()

core\session\handler::init ( )
abstract

Init session handler.

Reimplemented in core\session\database, core\session\file, core\session\memcached, and core\session\redis.

◆ kill_all_sessions()

core\session\handler::kill_all_sessions ( )
abstract

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

Reimplemented in core\session\database, core\session\file, core\session\memcached, and core\session\redis.

◆ kill_session()

core\session\handler::kill_session ( $sid)
abstract

Kill one session, the session record is removed afterwards.

Parameters
string$sid

Reimplemented in core\session\database, core\session\file, core\session\memcached, and core\session\redis.

◆ requires_write_lock()

core\session\handler::requires_write_lock ( )

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\handler::session_exists ( $sid)
abstract

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 in core\session\database, core\session\file, core\session\memcached, and core\session\redis.

◆ set_requires_write_lock()

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

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\handler::start ( )

Start the session.

Return values
boolsuccess

Reimplemented in core\session\memcached, and core\session\redis.

◆ write_close()

core\session\handler::write_close ( )

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.
