Hi,
I am wondering on how to access session variables inside FactoryDefault::setShared() or most commonly know as $di. I know we can access it using $_SESSION but is there any more Phalcon way of doing this?
Thanks!
Yes there is:
$di->get('session')->get('variablename')Read docs next time.
Thanks for your reply, but sadly, this won't work. $di is not accessible inside the said function. And yes, I do read the docs and search the Internet before I ask. ;)

In case I wasn't clear enough:
$di->setShared('someName', function() {
print_r($_SESSION);
});What I was hoping to achieve is to access session variables without using $_SESSION from inside FactoryDefault::setShared(). I tried $di (instance of FactoryDefault()) and I have tried $application (instance of Application()) but both are not accesible from the definition.
I hope that makes it more clear. If it is still not, let me know. Thanks!
If you are using phalcon 2.1.x Then you can use:
$di->setShared('someName', function() {
$session = $this->get('session');
});Service closures are bound to DI in phalcon 2.1.x, in 2.0.x you need to use:
$di->setShared('someName', function() use ($di) {
$session = $di->get('session');
});
The DI can be accessed anywhere by doing:
$di = \Phalcon\DI::getDefault()I've written a trait that I inject into any models or classes that don't have easier access to the DI:
/**
* This trait contains a simple function for simplifying access to the DI.
*/
trait DI{
/**
* Shortcut function for accessing the DI and its contents
*
* @param string $thing_in_di [OPTIONAL] If provided, causes the method to return that item in the DI, rather than the DI itself
* @param array $parameters_for_thing [OPTIONAL] If provided, passes the parameters on to the closure method for creating the thing
* @return DI|Service
*/
public function di($thing_in_di=NULL,$parameters_for_thing=NULL){
if($thing_in_di == NULL){
return \Phalcon\DI::getDefault();
}
else{
return \Phalcon\DI::getDefault()->get($thing_in_di,$parameters_for_thing);
}
}
}
