By the way, I had this issue on a real application I upgraded from Symfony2 2.0.x to 2.1 (and written by @Seldaek)
The code looks like:
``` php
<?php
// in a controller
$this->session->setFlash('foo', array(
'code' => 'success',
'message' => 'lalala',
'params' => array())
);
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yup, to be fair in retrospective maybe that should have been translated in the controller directly (that's why it had message + params as an array), but this is code that predates 2.0 by at least six months, so it was obviously not clear what best practices were. Anyway it seems it can be fixed without much harm, so for the sake of safety and because I may not be the only crazy person having done this, it'd be good to fix IMO.
This is a very important option which allows the cookie lifetime to be changed on migrate.
For example when a user converts from an anonymous session to a logged in session one might
wish to change from a persistent cookie to browser session (e.g. a banking application).
This commit allows applications to know certain meta-data about the session
Session storage is designed to only store some data against a session ID
so this method is necessary to be compatible with any session handler, including
native handlers.

[2.1][HttpFoundation] Multiple session flash messages
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: yes, but this already happened in #2583. BC `Session` methods remain unbroken.
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: #1863
References the following tickets: #2714, #2753, #2510, #2543, #2853
Todo: -
This PR alters flash messages so that it is possible to store more than one message per flash type using the `add()` method or by passing an array of messages to `set()`.
__NOTES ABOUT BC__
This PR maintains BC behaviour with the `Session` class in that the old Symfony 2.0 methods will continue to work as before.

I think this is ready for review @fabpot @lsmith77
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

the FlashBag vs. AutoExpireFlashBag behavior and setup difference should probably also be explained in the upgrading log
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-15T04:43:14Z
@lsmith77 Those differences are explained already in the changelog
* Added `FlashBag`. Flashes expire when retrieved by `get()` or `all()`.
This makes the implementation ESI compatible.
* Added `AutoExpireFlashBag` (default) to replicate Symfony 2.0.x auto expire behaviour of messages auto expiring
after one page page load. Messages must be retrived by `get()` or `all()`.

Drak asked me to weigh in here with use cases. Drupal currently has a similar session-stored-messaging system in place that I'd like to be able to replace with Flash messages. We frequently have multiple messages within a single request, however, so this change is critical to our being able to do so.
For instance, when saving an article in Drupal there is, by default, a "yay, you saved an article!" type message that gets displayed. If you also have the site configured to send email when a post is updated, you may see a "email notifications sent" message (depending on your access level). If you have a Solr server setup for search, and you're in debug mode, there will also be a "record ID X added to Solr, it should update in 2 minutes" message. And if there's a bug somewhere, you'll also get, as an error message rather than notice message, a "Oops, E_NOTICE on line 54" message.
Form validation is another case. If you have multiple errors in a single form, we prefer to list all of them. So if you screw up 4 times on a form, you may get 4 different error messages showing what you screwed up so you can fix it in one go instead of several.
Now sure, one could emulate that by building a multi-message layer on top of single-layer messages, but, really, why? "One is a special case of many", and there are many many cases where you'll want to post multiple messages. Like, most of Drupal. :-)

@fabpot is there any information you still need before merging this? do you want more discussion in which case you might want to take this to the mailing list ..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-08T18:54:13Z
Another plus for this PR is that it requires no extra lines of code in templates etc to display the flashes, see https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/3267/files#diff-1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-15T06:38:21Z
Rebased against current `master`, should be mergeable again..

+1 to this, I have an extended version of HttpFoundation just for this... would love to get rid of it.

[HttpFoundation] SPL on ParameterBag
Bug fix: no
Feature addition: yes
Backwards compatibility break: no
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Added a couple SPL interfaces to ParameterBag, added shortcuts to working with the parameters. For example:
```php
<?php
$post = Request::createFromGlobal()->request;
echo "There are {count($post)} POST variables\n";
foreach ($post as $key => $val) {
echo "{$key}: {$val}\n";
}
```
Thoughts?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by stealth35 at 2012-03-07T13:09:11Z
You already have the `all` method
``` php
<?php
$post = Request::createFromGlobals()->request->all();
echo "There are ", count($post), " POST variables\n";
foreach ($post as $key => $val) {
echo "{$key}: {$val}\n";
}
```
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by cboden at 2012-03-07T13:50:22Z
Yes, but when in the context of working with the Request object (or POST ParamegerBag), it's 1 more call and loose variable to set.
ParameterBag is a container, these common SPL interfaces give standard PHP container methods to it.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-03-07T18:42:41Z
makes sense to me ..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by vicb at 2012-03-09T15:45:40Z
Probably makes sense. Could you check if any other `*Bag.php` needs to be updated so that it could ba an atomic merge.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by cboden at 2012-03-09T15:48:40Z
Whoops, good catch @vicb. I made a poor assumption all the *Bags extended ParameterBag, while only some do. I will post an update shortly.

Does Symfony (or any of its dependencies) has Redis support in any form whatsoever? If not this might be a good point to decide which clients to support
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lsmith77 at 2012-03-04T23:36:11Z
well ideally we just get this cache interface stuff done .. for this use case it would be perfect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by pulzarraider at 2012-03-05T00:35:59Z
There is RedisProfilerStorage available (based on phpredis). I prefer and write code for [phpredis](https://github.com/nicolasff/phpredis).
It's recommended by [official Redis homepage](http://redis.io/clients#PHP). [In this benchmark](http://dev.af83.com/2011/01/01/which-php-library-to-use-with-redis-the-benchmark.html
) is fastest and less memory consumpting.
But if somebody prefer predis (with phpiredis), rediska or something other widely used, there are no limitations to add support of it to Symfony.
My opinion is, that the C extension should be supported at first, because of good performance and native session storage support. Redis is quite young and the process of creating PHP clients is comparable to Memcache.
There were created pure PHP Memcache clients in the past (Google found for example [this](http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/file/20284.html) and [this](http://code.blitzaffe.com/pages/phpclasses/files/memcached_client_52-12)), but they are not being used now. Everyone, who is seriously thinking about performance, is using only the C Redis/Memcache(d)/... extensions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-05T07:40:06Z
+1 on this PR. Needs a test written though.
I don't think there is any need to wait for #3493 imo. I'll deal with it if this is merged before #3493.
Are there any PHP ini settings for this for this driver or is everything via the `session.save_path` directive? (A quick look at the C code seems to indicate there are no explicit ini directives).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by lstrojny at 2012-03-05T12:14:34Z
@pulzarraider I don’t necessarily disagree with the usage of phpredis, I just wanted to bring up the issues of various clients and people having different preferences about them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-03-05T14:46:22Z
@pulzarraider Can you add some unit tests before I merge?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by pulzarraider at 2012-03-11T20:19:57Z
@drak No there are no php.ini settings. Only RedisArray has some, but it's another feature.
@fabpot I've added simple test based on other session storage tests.
I planned to create a RedisSessionStorage, too, but I have no time for it now. This can be added later in another PR as it's independent from NativeRedisSessionStorage.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-03-12T02:21:25Z
The code looks OK to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by fabpot at 2012-03-15T06:05:27Z
#3493 has been merged now.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by pulzarraider at 2012-03-16T23:21:27Z
Code updated.
It does not make sense to try and store session ini directives since they can be changes outside
of the class as they are part of the global state.

Set session.cookie_* parameters properly
Bug fix: yes
Feature addition: no
Backwards compatibility break: yes
Symfony2 tests pass: yes
Fixes the following tickets: /
Cookie parameters in $options are not prefixed with cookie_ the same is true for data returned from session_get_cookie_params.
I've marked this as BC because the options that get dumped into the container have different name. But I don't think anybody was actually changing them or accessing them in their bundles.
P.S. @drak also desires some credits for this PR as I incorporated some lines written by him in one of the iterations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-23T14:24:42Z
@mvrhov - what does this fix exactly? It looks like a different way of doing the same thing but now there is no default value on `cookie_httponly`.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by mvrhov at 2012-02-23T15:09:17Z
Like I said in description. $option contains some cookie options and none of them has cookie_ prefix.
And this prefix is needed in two cases:
- to properly merge defaults and override them with what user set
- in a foreach for for proper ini_set
Sorry non native speaker an a bit hard to explain, could you ping me in a couple of hours on IRC if this still doesn't make any sense.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-23T15:29:41Z
@mvrhov - I wrote some tests for this particular code and I still don't see what this PR fixes. I'll try to catch you on IRC later on but can't guarantee it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
by drak at 2012-02-24T08:30:51Z
Just for reference for those reading this ticket, `session_set_cookie_params()` alters the runtime ini settings it corresponds to see http://docs.php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-cookie-params.php so we agreed to remove the special handling that was present since it is redundant.

@fabpot - looks good from my side.
Added blocks, updated links and references and fixed typos.
Note it is not possible to throw exceptions in the write or close methods of a session save handler.
