advanced patterns with PHP 8.1 session management and PDO in Symfony 5
I'm following best practices but I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with an scenario with session management in my Symfony 5 application while using PHP 8.1. After performing a database operation with PDO, I'm noticing that the session data isn't being saved as expected, leading to stale data being returned when I try to access it in subsequent requests. I've confirmed that the session is started correctly, and I'm using the following code to interact with the database: ```php $conn = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=test', 'user', 'password'); $conn->setAttribute(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION); try { $stmt = $conn->prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = :id'); $stmt->execute(['id' => $_SESSION['user_id']]); $user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); } catch (PDOException $e) { echo 'Database behavior: ' . $e->getMessage(); } ``` However, when I check the session data using `$_SESSION`, it seems to be empty or not reflecting the latest updates after I execute the database query. I also tried manually regenerating the session ID after the database operation, but that didn't resolve the scenario: ```php session_regenerate_id(true); ``` I suspect that something related to the session cookie management in PHP 8.1 might be interfering. My `php.ini` is configured as follows: ``` session.gc_maxlifetime = 1440 session.save_path = "/tmp" ``` Could the PDO operations somehow be affecting the session data? Or is there a possibility that the changes are not being committed correctly? I’ve tried debugging using Symfony’s profiler, but the session details seem to be as expected within the profiler context, yet they don’t continue across requests. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! For context: I'm using Php on Windows. Thanks in advance!
