session_encode

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

session_encode — Encodes the current session data as a session encoded string

Description

session_encode() returns a serialized string of the contents of the current session data stored in the $_SESSION superglobal.

By default, the serialization method used is internal to PHP, and is not the same as serialize(). The serialization method can be set using session.serialize_handler.

Return Values

Returns the contents of the current session encoded.

Notes

Warning

Must call session_start() before using session_encode().
