NAME CGI::Session::Serialize::php - PHP serializer for CGI::Session DESCRIPTION This library can be used by CGI::Session to serialize session data. It is a wrapper around the "PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP". Use of this serializer allows common session data storage when writing Web Applications in both Perl and PHP. NOTE: you will need to store the Session ID in your PHP session data structure as $_SESSION['_SESSION_ID'] = session_id(); as the return from the "thaw()" method is checked for it's existance. "CGI::Session" will croak with the error "Invalid data structure returned from thaw()" if it is not seen. Don't forget to add 'serializer:php' to your "CGI::Session" initialiaztion string. =head1 METHODS freeze($class, \%session_data_hash) Receives two arguments. First is the class name, the second is the session data to be serialized. Should return serialized string on success, undef on failure. Error message should be set using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()"" thaw($class, $php_serialized_string) Receives two arguments. First is the class name, second is the "PHP" serialized data string. Should return deserialized session data structure on success, undef on failure. Error message should be set using "set_error()|CGI::Session::ErrorHandler/"set_error()"" SEE ALSO "CGI::Session", "PHP::Session::Serializer::PHP".
