The session class replaces PHPs standard session storage functions and lets you use PHPs own sessions functions and variables. The supported storage types are:
Starting a session is done using the start method. You use it instead of PHPs own session_start function.
Session::start('redis'); // Start a session using the redis configuration
// You can now use the $_SESSION variable and PHP session functions like you would after calling "session_start()"
$_SESSION['foo'] = 'bar';
The flash method allows you to set and get flash data. Flash data will be deleted from the session as soon as it has been read.
Calling the flash method will automatically start the session if it hasn't already been started.
// Store a flash message for later use
Session::flash('Your password has been updated');
// Print flash message and delete it from the session
echo Session::flash();
