Session management in Symfony

Question

I have two controller files in my project. In first one, LoginProfileController, and inside LoginProfileAction function, I write:

$session = new Session();
$session->start();

Then, I need to access the same session object in other file. Since Symfony doesn't support $_SESSION Variable, how can I do that?

Why you create a new session? Use the existing session in the request! — Emii Khaos, Dec 01 '13 at 10:41

Symfony Session is a wrapper to native php $_SESSION array. Just instantiate new $session object wherever you need it and you will have access to your session data.

Have a look at: http://symfony.com/doc/current/components/http_foundation/sessions.html

BTW behind the scenes symfony uses the $_SESSION array.

This is for Symfony, Not for Symfony 2.Anyway thanks. – Lakmal Vithanage Dec 01 '13 at 06:44
I don't undestand... did you setup some other session management model? Some SQL? Otherwise, I think that `@Arek S` is quite right here... – Jovan Perovic Dec 01 '13 at 16:48
... you can write `$session->set('foo', 'bar');` in one controller and `$session->get('foo')` in another... – Jovan Perovic Dec 01 '13 at 16:49
