Session handling

xm_tools provides a convient interface to the wer server’s session. To write data to and retrieve data from the session, use the SessionManager:

class MyController
{
    /**
     * session
     *
     * @var XmTools\Classes\Typo3\SessionManager
     * @inject
     */
    protected $session;

    function updateSessionData()
    {
        $data = $this->session->get('myData');
        $date['newStuff'] = 'new text';

        $this->session->set('myData', $data);
    }
}

This session is kept for the current extension and the current page. If you want to store data somewhere specific to be able to use it on other pages and/or by another extensions, you can use (see SessionManager::set) with key of your choice:

function updateSessionDataForSomewhereElse()
{
    $data = $this->session->get('myData');
    $date['newStuff'] = 'new text';

    //send it to another extension on another page
    $this->session->set('myData', $data, 100, 'anotherExtensionKey');
}
