Csrf

License: MIT PHP Version Release

A simple PHP CSRF class that provides functionality for operating CSRF tokens.

Installation

You can install the Csrf class using Composer. Run the following command in your project's root directory:

composer require gokhankurtulus/csrf

Usage

To use the Csrf class in your PHP script, you need to include the Composer autoloader:

require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

Creating a New Token

You can generate a new CSRF token using the newToken method. The method accepts two parameters: the token name and an optional expiry time in seconds (default is 600 seconds = 10 minutes).

use Csrf\Csrf;

$token = Csrf::newToken('my_token', 1200); // Generate a token named 'my_token' that expires in 20 minutes

The newToken method returns a stdClass object containing the token information. The object has the following properties:

  • name: The name of the token.
  • expiry: The expiry timestamp of the token.
  • value: The token value.

Getting a Token

To retrieve a previously generated token, you can use the getToken method. It accepts the token name as a parameter and returns the token object if found, or null if the token does not exist.

$token = Csrf::getToken('my_token'); // Get the token object for 'my_token'

Creating an HTML Input Field

The createInput method generates an HTML input field with the CSRF token embedded. It accepts the token name and an optional expiry time (default is 600 seconds or 10 minutes) as parameters. The method returns the HTML input field as a string or null if the session is not started or the token name is empty.

$input = Csrf::createInput('my_token', 1800); // Generate an HTML input field for 'my_token' that expires in 30 minutes
echo $input; // Output the HTML input field

The generated HTML input field can be used in forms to send the CSRF token value along with other form data.

Verifying a Token

To verify if a submitted token is valid, you can use the verify method. It accepts the token name, an optional parameter to unset the token if it is verified (default is false), and the token value submitted with the request (can be retrieved from the $_POST superglobal by default).

$isVerified = Csrf::verify('my_token', true); // Verify the submitted token for 'my_token' and unset it if verified
if ($isVerified) {
    // Token is valid
} else {
    // Token is invalid
}

The verify method returns a boolean value indicating whether the token is valid or not.

Unsetting a Token

To unset a token manually, you can use the unsetToken method. It accepts the token name as a parameter and returns true if the token is successfully unset or false if the session is not started or the token name is empty.

Csrf::unsetToken('my_token'); // Unset the token named 'my_token'

Session Status

The Csrf class relies on PHP sessions to store and retrieve CSRF tokens. The isSessionStarted method can be used to check if a session is already started.

$isSessionStarted = Csrf::isSessionStarted(); 

// Check if a session is started
if ($isSessionStarted) {
    // Session is active
} else {
    // Session is not active
}
