Is it possible cookie based session start?

Hi @ismailbaskin

The PHP session extension (session_start(), $_SESSION) is not compatible with multiple request dispatch cycles. I also don't believe that Symfony sessions are easily compatible with a multiple request dispatch cycle without some wizardry - as the session is an entry in the container.

If you're creating a new app, I would strongly recommend not using Symfony sessions and instead creating your own abstraction using the cookie header.

Otherwise you will need to override the way that the Framework Bundle attaches the session to the request:

https://github.com/symfony/symfony/blob/master/src/Symfony/Bundle/FrameworkBundle/EventListener/SessionListener.php

I'm currently researching how best to do this and you might wish to subscribe to the issue I just created in the Symfony project repository: symfony/symfony#18273

I'll update this thread as I get answers from the Symfony repository.
