ZF2 get $_SESSION

Question

I'm setting $_SESSION in a part of my application which is not routed by Zend. (myhost.local/example.php -> set $_SESSION['user'])

Now I want to access the $_SESSION['user'] in my Zend application. (myhost.local/newgeniuszend/index -> cant get the $_SESSION['user'])

What can I do?

Answer 1

In Zend Framework you should not interact with the php $_SESSION global directly. Instead you should use the session tools that are shipped with ZF2 in the zend-session module. For session management there is a so called session-manager (Zend\Session\SessionManager).

Refer to the official ZF2 documentation here.
