Class SessionHandler
- Aws\DynamoDb\SessionHandler implements SessionHandlerInterface
- Namespace: Aws\DynamoDb
- Located at DynamoDb/SessionHandler.php
Provides an interface for using Amazon DynamoDB as a session store by hooking
into PHP's session handler hooks. Once registered, You may use the native
$_SESSION superglobal and session functions, and the sessions will be
stored automatically in DynamoDB. DynamoDB is a great session storage
solution due to its speed, scalability, and fault tolerance.
For maximum performance, we recommend that you keep the size of your sessions small. Locking is disabled by default, since it can drive up latencies and costs under high traffic. Only turn it on if you need it.
By far, the most expensive operation is garbage collection. Therefore, we encourage you to carefully consider your session garbage collection strategy. Note: the DynamoDB Session Handler does not allow garbage collection to be triggered randomly. You must run garbage collection manually or through other automated means using a cron job or similar scheduling technique.
Methods Summary
-
static
fromClient ( Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient $client, array $config = [] )
Creates a new DynamoDB Session Handler.
- __construct ( Aws\DynamoDb\SessionConnectionInterface $connection )
-
register ( )
Register the DynamoDB session handler.
-
open ( string $savePath, string $sessionName )
Open a session for writing. Triggered by session_start().
-
close ( )
Close a session from writing.
-
read ( string $id )
Read a session stored in DynamoDB.
-
write ( string $id, string $data )
Write a session to DynamoDB.
-
destroy ( string $id )
Delete a session stored in DynamoDB.
-
gc ( int $maxLifetime )
Satisfies the session handler interface, but does nothing. To do garbage collection, you must manually call the garbageCollect() method.
-
garbageCollect ( )
Triggers garbage collection on expired sessions.
Methods Details
static
Aws\DynamoDb\SessionHandler
fromClient (
Aws\DynamoDb\DynamoDbClient
$client,
array
$config = []
)
Creates a new DynamoDB Session Handler.
The configuration array accepts the following array keys and values: - table_name: Name of table to store the sessions. - hash_key: Name of hash key in table. Default: "id". - session_lifetime: Lifetime of inactive sessions expiration. - consistent_read: Whether or not to use consistent reads. - batch_config: Batch options used for garbage collection. - locking: Whether or not to use session locking. - max_lock_wait_time: Max time (s) to wait for lock acquisition. - min_lock_retry_microtime: Min time (µs) to wait between lock attempts. - max_lock_retry_microtime: Max time (µs) to wait between lock attempts.

Returns
| boolean Whether or not the operation succeeded. |
Implementation of
SessionHandlerInterface::open()boolean close ( )
Close a session from writing.
Returns
| boolean Success |
