Sessions

The session is a static class, this means it can be used in any controller or model without needing to be instantiated.
The advantages of using a session class is all sessions are prefixed using the parameter session_prefix from the configuration file, this avoid sessions clashing with other applications on the same domain.

How to use

Setting a session, call Session then ::set pass in the session name followed by its value

\Core\Helpers\Session::set('username', 'crater');

To retrieve an existing session use the get method:

\Core\Helpers\Session::get('username');

Pull an existing session key and remove it, use the pull method:

\Core\Helpers\Session::pull('username');

Use id to return the session id:

\Core\Helpers\Session::id();

Destroy a session key by calling:

\Core\Helpers\Session::destroy('username');

To look inside the sessions array, call the display method:

var_dump(\Core\Helpers\Session::display());
