manager is a handy little class that lets you control the user’s login status. If they have a long period of no activity, you can automatically redirect them to a login page, etc. Likewise, if they try to get sneaky and change IP addresses you can reroute them as well.

Public Methods

\ipinga\manager __construct( array $overrideSettings )

This is the class constructor. You can optionally provide an associative array to override the iPinga configuration settings
Parameters:
$overrideSettings (array: optional) associative array (key=value pairs) that override the iPinga configuration settings. Only the manager.* settings can be overridden by passing this array.
Returns:
A manager instance
Example:

1	$myManager = new \ipinga\manager(array( 'manager.max_minutes' => 20 ));

void loadFromCookie()

Load the $loggedInDetails array from the iPinga cookie. This function is normally not needed outside of some the class itself.
Parameters:
None
Returns:
null
Example:

1 2	$myManager = new \ipinga\manager(array( 'manager.max_minutes' => 20 )); $myManager->loadFromCookie();

void shutdown()

Stores the $loggedInDetails array to the iPinga cookie. This function is normally not needed outside of some the class itself.
Parameters:
None
Returns:
null
Example:

1 2 3

$myManager = new \ipinga\manager(array( 'manager.max_minutes' => 20 )); // ...do something here... $myManager->shutdown();

void logout()

Tell manager that the user has now logged out. This function calls shutdown() as well.
Parameters:
None
Returns:
null
Example:

1 2 3

$myManager = new \ipinga\manager(array( 'manager.max_minutes' => 20 )); // ...do something here... $myManager->logout();

void update( $userId )

Tell manager that the user has now logged in. This function calls shutdown() as well. You should call this method whenever the user logs in, and also whenever the logged in user interacts with your site. ie: this is how manager knows the user has not expired/timed out.
Parameters:
$userId (mixed) is the user id you wish to store in the cookie and in the manager objects
Returns:
null
Example:

1 2 3

$myManager = new \ipinga\manager(array( 'manager.max_minutes' => 20 )); // ...do something here... $myManager->update(55);

boolean userIsLoggedIn( [ boolean $redirectIfNotLoggedIn ] )

Ask manager if the user is logged in or not.
Parameters:
$redirectIfNotLoggedIn (boolean: optional) tells manager to perform a hard redirect if the user is not logged in (has expired, changed ip addresses, etc). Note: this stops the execution cold and redirects the user to the new url defined in $settings. Default: false;
Returns:
True if the user is logged in, otherwise false. Note: if $redirectIfNotLoggedIn is set to true and the user is not logged in, this function will never return to your code. False if the user is not logged in. If false, then you should check the $message for reasons why.
