    SessionHandler::open

    (PHP 5 >= 5.4.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    SessionHandler::open — Initialize session

    Description

    public SessionHandler::open(string $path, string $name): bool

    Create new session, or re-initialize existing session. Called internally by PHP when a session starts either automatically or when session_start() is invoked.

    This method wraps the internal PHP save handler defined in the session.save_handler ini setting that was set before this handler was set by session_set_save_handler().

    If this class is extended by inheritance, calling the parent open method will invoke the wrapper for this method and therefore invoke the associated internal callback. This allows this method to be overridden and or intercepted and filtered.

    For more information on what this method is expected to do, please refer to the documentation at SessionHandlerInterface::open().

    Parameters

    path

    The path where to store/retrieve the session.

    name

    The session name.

    Return Values

    The return value (usually true on success, false on failure). Note this value is returned internally to PHP for processing.
