Is there any way to save a variable in the Craft session inside a controller?
I'm running a cron job and I need to store a variable as a session for every run to see if a condition matches.
Craft's HttpSessionService is a thin wrapper for PHP's global $_SESSION variable.
You can use:
craft()->httpSession->add($key, $value)
and:
craft()->httpSession->get($key)
to save and retrieve values from it.

We don't expose a
HttpSessionVariableclass where you'd be able to access that. Hit us up at support@buildwithcraft.com if you think you have a valid use-case where you think that'd be necessary from a template. – Brad Bell Nov 5 '14 at 5:29 -
Gotcha. I actually got what I needed from setFlash instead of httpSession. Thanks. – Adam McCombs Nov 5 '14 at 5:35
And for those needing this for Craft 3...
Set (previously called 'add'):
Craft::$app->getSession()->set($key, $value);
Get
Craft::$app->getSession()->get($key);

3If you need to unset/remove a particular session variable key: Remove Craft::$app->getSession()->remove($key); Here are the applicable Yii2 docs. – plaintxt Aug 29 '18 at 14:19
