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.

$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 property

Whether to use custom storage.

public boolean $useCustomStorage null
$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

public mixed __call ( $name, $params )
$name string

The method name

$params array

Method parameters

return mixed

The method return value

throws yii\base\UnknownMethodException

when calling unknown method

    $this->_events = [];
    $this->_eventWildcards = [];
    $this->_behaviors = null;
}

            
__construct() public method

Defined in: yii\base\BaseObject::__construct()

Constructor.

The default implementation does two things:

  • Initializes the object with the given configuration $config.
  • Call init().

If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that

  • the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like $config here.
  • call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
public void __construct ( $config = [] )
$config array

Name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties

                public function __construct($config = [])

    }
    $this->init();
}

            
__get() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::__get()

Returns the value of a component property.

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a getter: return the getter result

This method will check in the following order and act accordingly:

  • a property defined by a setter: return whether the property is set
  • a property of a behavior: return whether the property is set
  • return false for non existing properties

Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when executing isset($component->property).

The name of the behavior.

$behavior string|array|yii\base\Behavior

The behavior configuration. This can be one of the following:

return yii\base\Behavior

                public function attachBehavior($name, $behavior)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();
    return $this->attachBehaviorInternal($name, $behavior);
}

            
attachBehaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::attachBehaviors()

Attaches a list of behaviors to the component.

Each behavior is indexed by its name and should be a yii\base\Behavior object, a string specifying the behavior class, or an configuration array for creating the behavior.

See also attachBehavior().

public void attachBehaviors ( $behaviors )
$behaviors array

List of behaviors to be attached to the component

                public function attachBehaviors($behaviors)
{
    $this->ensureBehaviors();

    }
}

            
behaviors() public method

Defined in: yii\base\Component::behaviors()

Returns a list of behaviors that this component should behave as.

Child classes may override this method to specify the behaviors they want to behave as.

The return value of this method should be an array of behavior objects or configurations indexed by behavior names. A behavior configuration can be either a string specifying the behavior class or an array of the following structure:

'behaviorName' => [
    'class' => 'BehaviorClass',
    'property1' => 'value1',
    'property2' => 'value2',
]

Note that a behavior class must extend from yii\base\Behavior. Behaviors can be attached using a name or anonymously. When a name is used as the array key, using this name, the behavior can later be retrieved using getBehavior() or be detached using detachBehavior(). Anonymous behaviors can not be retrieved or detached.

Behaviors declared in this method will be attached to the component automatically (on demand).
