Slim Framework Sessions

Question

Is there a middleware for sessions in PHP Slim Framework? If not, is there a lightweight session library that works well with the Slim Framework? Its important that the library supports session storage in a database (MySQL).

Answer 1

Slim session manager package can be used. It's available at:

https://github.com/yusukezzz/slim-session-manager

1. Composer based installation
2. Slim middleware
3. Can be used with any database driver

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

PHP native sessions can be database backed.

PHP sessions in Database

It's pretty easy to use native PHP sessions, not sure why you'd need a library.

Answer 3

According to their Session Docs , they only have

• Native Session Store
• Cookie Session Store

It doesn't appear to have a database backed session. Maybe its in development or maybe there is a 3rd party plugin for it.
