Howto create session property?

[Ronny Buelund]

I have used this in a plugin, to save some variables in the session:         

$this->session = Factory::getApplication()->getSession();

and then i use: 

$this->session->set('xxxxx.auth_state', '');

 $storedState = $this->session->get('xxxxx.auth_state', '');

But I get this warning:  

Creation of dynamic property xxxxxxx\Plugin\xxxxx\xxxxxx\Extension\xxxxxxxx::$session is deprecated

So how would I do that correct ?

It's a PHP issue not a Joomla issue.

You can't do $this->session in a class without first initializing it :

class MyClass {

 public $session = null; // that's what you're missing

 public myFunction() {

  $this->session = Factory::getApplication()->getSession();

 }

}

You can read more about it here:

Don’t you really want to use the built in session handling for Joomla with (application) state (getState, setState) and user state (getUserState, setUserState)?
