"Session handling is like a sword fight
You must think first before you move
When it's properly used it's almost invincible"

Session Samurai 🥷 is fresh off the block and is still figuring out what it wants to do with its life. Soon it will grow into a mega-hotie that does the same stuff others do, only he makes it look good.

Use composer to include the save handler in your application.

composer requre detain/session-samurai

require 'vendor/autoload.php';  // set up autoloading using composer

$memcached = new \Memcached();  // create connection to memcached
$memcached->addServer('localhost', 11211);
$handler = new \Detain\SessionSamurai\MemcachedSessionHandler($memcached);
session_set_save_handler($handler, true);
