Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-03-31 04:34:20] yohgaki@php.net I think there is dup of this request. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 14:35:15] lealcy at gmail dot com There is no need for a new function to do this, just change the prototype of session_decode function to function session_decode($data, $overwrite_session = true); then make the function returns an array with the session data always, this let to the programmer to choose overwrite the $_SESSION or just get the decoded array. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-23 03:45:43] marrtins at hackers dot lv so i'll try to explain now :) my homepage uses sessions(i wrote a session handler) to store users information - some username, visited sections, etc data i wrote a script, to check who is online right now - scanning for sessions active in last 3 minutes. script reads those session data from mysql table. data looks like this: $session_data="user|a:2:{s:8:"username";s:6:"foobar";s:9:"useremail";s:0:"";}<some other data>..." sou, it will be usefull to have function to get all these variables in one array. for example $session_vars = get_session_vars($session_data); as a result will be $session_vars['username'] = 'foobar'; $session_vars['useremail'] = ''; ... and so on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-23 03:28:56] sniper@php.net Would you please explain this a bit better? Like some example maybe..? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-09-22 12:52:59] marrtins at hackers dot lv Description: ------------ need to store session decoded data in array not only in variables. thnx! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=25630&edit=1
