Hi all, session save handler developer especially, I would like to improve session save handler module API for PHP7. When new session data is created, some save handlers need to create new session data explicitly. e.g. RDBMS based save handler.
New session module validates session data existence via PS(mod)->validate_sid(). When new data record is needed, RDBMS needs INSERT query to create a record. Since record existence is checked by validate_sid(), SELECT query in PS(mod)->read() that checks record existence is not required if there is proper API. Note: validate_sid() is there to enforce secure save handler implementation. One option is to have PS(mod)->create() for new session. The other is additional new_id flag parameter for PS(mod)->read(). Both change requires API change, but it wouldn't be issue for PHP7. Have new create API or new parameter for PS(mod)->read()? I don't care which. If there is no comment, I'll add new parameter since it's simpler. Comments are appreciated. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki yohg...@ohgaki.net
