MockFileSessionStorage::regenerate()

bool regenerate(bool $destroy = false, int $lifetime = null)

Regenerates id that represents this storage.

This method must invoke sessionregenerateid($destroy) unless this interface is used for a storage object designed for unit or functional testing where a real PHP session would interfere with testing.

Note regenerate+destroy should not clear the session data in memory only delete the session data from persistent storage.

Care: When regenerating the session ID no locking is involved in PHP's session design. See https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=61470 for a discussion. So you must make sure the regenerated session is saved BEFORE sending the headers with the new ID. Symfony's HttpKernel offers a listener for this. See Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\EventListener\SaveSessionListener. Otherwise session data could get lost again for concurrent requests with the new ID. One result could be that you get logged out after just logging in.

Parameters

bool	$destroy	Destroy session when regenerating?
int	$lifetime	Sets the cookie lifetime for the session cookie. A null value will leave the system settings unchanged, 0 sets the cookie to expire with browser session. Time is in seconds, and is not a Unix timestamp.
