Session-Out Method for easy deployment

[sathukorala]

This is a simple way to apply session out in Appgini
1. Create a file called session_keep.php in the main folder with the following code (you can create a file with any name)

Code: Select all

<?php
$script_name = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);
$user = getLoggedMemberID();
	if($script_name == 'index.php' && (isset($_GET['signIn']) || isset($_GET['loginFailed'])) || $user == "guest"){ // this prevents session out in login page and guest access pages
			session_unset();
			session_destroy();
	}
	else {
			session_start();
			if($_SESSION['session_count'] == 0) {
			$_SESSION['session_count'] = 1;
			$_SESSION['session_start_time']=time();
				} else {
					$_SESSION['session_count'] = $_SESSION['session_count'] + 1;
				}

				$session_timeout = 60; // enter number of seconds here for session to live (in sec) - 60 = 1 minute - 1800/60 = 30 min

				$session_duration = time() - $_SESSION['session_start_time'];
				if ($session_duration > $session_timeout) {
				session_unset();
				session_destroy();
				session_start();
				session_regenerate_id(true);

				header("Location: index.php?signIn=1"); // Redirect to Login Page - index.php?signIn=1 - or whatever you wish
				$_SESSION['custom_err_msg']= "Your session has expired !!! Please login again"; // Enter the session out prompt you want
				} else {
				$_SESSION['session_start_time']=time();
				}

		}
?>

2. Include the session_keep.php file in hooks > footer-extras.php

Code: Select all

<?php
include("$currDir/session_keep.php");
?>

That's all.
You can set the session out time in seconds in $session_timeout
This session out will not work on the login page and guest access pages because they are not used by logged in users

Feel free to comment

A small addition
3. Add following code to hooks > header-extras.php (This is the message prompt seen on the upper part of the window)

Code: Select all

<?php	
if (isset($_SESSION['custom_err_msg'])) {
	$customError ='<div id="customErrorMessage" class="custmErrMsg alert alert-dismissable alert-danger">'.$_SESSION['custom_err_msg'].'</div>';
	echo $customError;			
	if ($_SESSION['custom_err_shown'] == 1){
		unset($_SESSION['custom_err_msg']);
		$_SESSION['custom_err_shown'] = 0;
	} 
	else {
		$_SESSION['custom_err_shown'] = 1;
	}				
}

?>
