PHP Session custom class sessions not being set? - php

Question

I have a custom class I am writing for easier scripting for myself. I generate life spanned sessions and normal sessions (normal life span). So here's my script parts for creating and getting
CREATE
public static function create($session_name,$value="") {
//check if the $_SESSION was started manually without using our functions...
if(!isset($_SESSION)) {
//init this- it creates session_start session_id
self::init(self::$settings["default_name"]);
}
//create array for serialization
$new_session = array();
//if our session is an array means we want this session to have some unique properties compared to others
if( is_array($session_name)) {
//store the session value in the array
$new_session["value"] = $session_name["value"];
//total time is null, this indicates if we want a life expectancy of total 10 hours total or total from current time.
$total = null;
if(isset($session_name["lifeclock"])) { //lifeclock should be a hh:mm:ss format to be exploded
$clock = explode(":",$session_name["lifeclock"]); //we've exploded it now assign it
$hours = $clock[0]; //hours
$minutes = $clock[1]; //minutes
$seconds = $clock[2]; //seconds
$session_add = 0; //variable to be added to total or not technically
if(isset($session_name["concurrent"])) {
$session_add = time(); //if concurrent time is true assign time to the session_add
}
$total = ( $session_add ) + ((int)$hours * 60 * 60) + ((int)$minutes * 60) + (int)$seconds; //broken down math to make all seconds
}
if(!isset($total)) { //this is why total is null
$total = self::$settings["lifetime"]; //if null lifetime we'll use the default lifetime
}
session_set_cookie_params( $total, //assing all data to the session_set_cookie_params
isset($session_name["path"]) ? $session_name["path"] : self::$settings["path"],
isset($session_name["domain"]) ? $session_name["domain"] : self::$settings["domain"],
isset($session_name["secure"]) ? $session_name["secure"] : self::$settings["secure"],
isset($session_name["httponly"]) ? $session_name["httponly"] : self::$settings["httponly"]
);
$new_session["life"] = $total; //we'll also add the time and when it was born
$new_session["born"] = time(); // so the user can use this later in the programming code
$_SESSION[$session_name["name"]] = serialize($new_session); //serialize the array
} elseif(is_string($session_name)) {
$new_session["value"] = $value; //assign value value
$new_session["born"] = time(); //assign born time
$_SESSION[$session_name] = serialize($new_session); //serialize the array
}
session_write_close(); //close the lock
}
GET
public static function get($session_name,$data = false) {
//test if session has been opened via manual or programatically
if(!isset($_SESSION)) {
self::init(self::$settings["default_name"]);
}
//if data argument is true meaning we don't want all the extra information we'll just return value!
if($data === false) {
if(isset($_SESSION[$session_name])) {
$sess = unserialize($_SESSION[$session_name]);
if(isset($sess["value"])){
return $sess["value"];
} else return false;
} else return false;
} elseif($data === true) {
return unserialize($_SESSION[$session_name]);
}
}
Now here is my file for testing this altogether.
<?php
set_include_path(dirname($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]));
require "admininit__autoload.php";
Session::configure(array(
"default_name"=>"boogie",
"lifetime"=> 3600,
));
Session::create( array(
"name"=>"my_session",
"value"=>"boogie all night long",
"lifeclock"=>"00:05:00"
));
$session_value = Session::get("my_session");
var_dump($session_value);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_SESSION);
echo "</pre>";
?>
So this is what I get in response to the var_dump and print_r
bool(false)
Array
(
)
So this tells me that $session_value is return false from the get function meaning altogether that the darn session is not saving for some strange reason. Here is what I see in google developers resource panel as well
So to me that's telling me a session is being created somewhere. I've also went ahead and checked my /tmp folder and see no file starting with sess_ which is the usual file for sessions. Any hints as to where my issue lies or maybe flat out what the hell is wrong here?
Update
While the creation of the code is uncommented out I get this
array(1) {
["my_session"]=> string(88) "a:3:{s:5:"value";s:21:"boogie all night long";s:4:"life";i:300;s:4:"born";i:1431562088;}"
}
string(21) "boogie all night long"
Array
(
[my_session] => a:3:{s:5:"value";s:21:"boogie all night long";s:4:"life";i:300;s:4:"born";i:1431562088;}
)
But when I comment out the creation part it returns this
bool(false)
Array
(
)
