Abstract Class yii\web\MultiFieldSession

Inheritance yii\web\MultiFieldSession » yii\web\Session » yii\base\Component » yii\base\Object
Implements ArrayAccess, Countable, IteratorAggregate, yii\base\Configurable
Subclasses yii\mongodb\Session, yii\web\DbSession
Available since version 2.0.6
Source Code https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/blob/master/framework/web/MultiFieldSession.php

MultiFieldSession is the base class for session storage implementations with multi-field data storage support.

With multi-field data storage, session data can be split between several fields in the storage record. Using such a storage allows saving particular session data into separated field, which then can be used to manipulate sessions in the way plain PHP does not allow.

For example the ID of the authenticated user can be saved as separated column in the MySQL 'session' table, which allows to query all active sessions for a particular user or terminate them at will.

Customizing of the session writing is performed via $writeCallback, reading via $readCallback.

While extending this class you should use composeFields() method - while writing the session data into the storage and extractData() - while reading session data from the storage.

Method Description Defined By
composeFields() Composes storage field set for session writing. yii\web\MultiFieldSession

Property Details

$readCallback public property

A callback that will be called during session data reading. The signature of the callback should be as follows:

function ($fields)

where $fields is the storage field set for read session and $session is this session instance. If callback returns an array, it will be merged into the session data.

For example:

function ($fields) {
    return [
        'expireDate' => Yii::$app->formatter->asDate($fields['expire']),
    ];
}
public callable $readCallback = null

$useCustomStorage public read-only property

Whether to use custom storage.

public boolean getUseCustomStorage ( )

$writeCallback public property

A callback that will be called during session data writing. The signature of the callback should be as follows:

function ($session)

where $session is this session instance, this variable can be used to retrieve session data. Callback should return the actual fields set, which should be saved into the session storage.

For example:

function ($session) {
    return [
        'user_id' => Yii::$app->user->id,
        'ip' => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],
        'is_trusted' => $session->get('is_trusted', false),
    ];
}
public callable $writeCallback = null
