Session

The Session class within the Boostack\Models\Session namespace handles user session operations in a web application.
The Session class is designed to manage user sessions, providing methods to initialize a session, retrieve and set session values, handle user login and logout, check login status, and manage CSRF protection.

To enable session management, you need to set $config['session_on'] to TRUE in the config/env.php configuration file.
Session management is done using the database and therefore requires that $config['database_on'] is set to TRUE.

Usage Example

use Boostack\Models\Session\Session;
if (empty(Session::get("current_year"))) {
    Session::set("current_year", date("Y")); // store session variable in database
}
