## #97343 — Yasuo Ohgaki — 2016-12-09T02:23:35+00:00

Hi all,

I about to write new RFC, but I would like to start discuss first.

I sent PR that adds clean and complete session save handler interface.
Older session save handler object/interfaces may be kept, but they
should be deprecated because they are obsolete. There is no point
making users to use them as recommended API.

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2234

Please refer to PR for details.

BTW, users will lose ability to modify session data with recommended
API, requires to use obsolete API and dirty/inefficient hack to use
user's own serialization if  "User defined session serializer RFC"
don't pass.
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/user_defined_session_serializer
If you would like to avoid this, please support the RFC. Thank you.

Regards,
