Question

I am storing User object in Zend_Auth_Storage_Session as a array element on valid authentication.

 $authSession = new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session();
 $authSession->write(array('user' => $user));

When I read Zend_Auth_Storage_Session, users lastLogin property, which is DateTime instance on session write, is string.

Answer 1

cbaby, Am not saying this is the solution but its working fine for me because I can access the ‘lastLogin’ normally. Maybe something else wrong somewhere. Ensure that your setting the date correctly.

$user = new stdClass();
$user->name = 'Mary';
$user->lastLogin= new DateTime(); 

$authSession = new Zend_Auth_Storage_Session();
$authSession->write(array('user' => $user));

$read = $authSession->read();
echo $read['user']->lastLogin->format('Y-m-d');
echo '<br>' . $read['user']->lastLogin->getTimezone()->getName();
