Function name: session_encode()
Applicable version: PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7
Function description: The session_encode() function is used to encode the current session data into a string.
usage:
string session_encode ( void )
Parameters: This function does not accept any parameters.
Return value: Returns an encoded string representing the current session data.
Example:
// 开始会话session_start(); // 设置会话数据$_SESSION['name'] = 'John'; $_SESSION['age'] = 25; // 将会话数据编码为字符串$encodedData = session_encode(); // 打印编码后的字符串echo $encodedData;
Output:
name|s:4:"John";age|i:25;
In the example above, we start a session first, and then set two session variables $_SESSION['name']
and $_SESSION['age']
. Then, we use the session_encode()
function to encode the current session data into a string. Finally, we print out the encoded string.
The encoded string is a semicolon-separated list of key-value pairs. Each key-value pair consists of a key name, type, and value. In the example above, the value of name
key is of string type, with a value of John
; the value of age
key is of integer type, with a value of 25
.
Note that session_encode()
function only encodes the current session data and does not include any global variables. If you need to encode global variables, use the serialize()
function.
