Has anyone successfully used this class with PHP 7? Or could anyone point me in the direction of something else?

@BrettMeyer
I also ran into trouble using PHP7. The reason is that the methods mcrypt_decrypt and mcrypt_encrypt are depreciated since PHP7.1.0.
I changed the code a little bit to use the methods openssl_encrypt and openssl_decrypt instead.

The following 4 changes are required:

1. line 9, change $this->key = $key; with:
   $this->key = substr(hash('sha256', $key), 0, 32);

2. line 79, change return mcrypt_decrypt(MCRYPT_3DES, $this->key, parent::read($id), MCRYPT_MODE_ECB); with
   return (string)openssl_decrypt (parent::read($id) , "aes-256-cbc", $this->key);

3. line 84, change return parent::write($id, mcrypt_encrypt(MCRYPT_3DES, $this->key, $data, MCRYPT_MODE_ECB)); with
   return parent::write($id, openssl_encrypt($data, "aes-256-cbc", $this->key));

This should fix it for PHP7.1 and up

should be 'aes-256-ecb' or you get a warning about not using a IV.

Did anyone using this had any trouble with this:

return mt_rand(0, 4) === 0 ? $this->refresh() : true; // 1/5

What is the purpose of refreshing the session one out of five times?

Can someone please help me, I am trying to write php handler but I want to add it to html file.

My php handler is:

Please how can I use it in html file

Can someone please help me, I am trying to write php handler but I want to add it to html file.

My php handler is:
`<?php echo session_start();
$email=$_SESSION['User'];
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$Hash = hash(md5, $_SESSION['User']);
$logo = file_get_contents("https://");
$bg = file_get_contents("https://");

?> `
Please how can I use it in html file

I have problems with:
session_regenerate_id(true);
https://gist.github.com/eddmann/10262795#file-securesessionhandler-php-L74

I lose the information of the current session and the files of the previous sessions are not deleted from my temporary directory.

Do not use mcrypt_* or openssl_*. Mcrypt is insecure, and OpenSSL is hard to get right, only cryptography experts should use it.

Everyone should be using Libsodium.

DO NOT USE THIS CODE. IT IS INSECURE.
