$_SESSION['mydata'] disappears in MW
I am trying to understand how MW 1.31.1 works. I have the following hook:
$wgHooks['UserLoginComplete'] = 'onUserLoginComplete';
function onUserLoginComplete(User &$user, &$inject_html, $direct)
$_SESSION['mydata'] = 'some data';
It basically stores some data in $_SESSION when a user is successfully authenticated. How can I keep $_SESSION['mydata'] in session as long as I am authenticated.
The puzzling thing to me is when I checked "Keep me logged in" at signin and come back to the wiki site a few hours later. I am still authenticated with the system, but $_SESSION['mydata'] disappears.

Since 1.27 when SessionManager was introduced, MediaWiki does its own session handling. Depending on the value of $wgPHPSessionHandling it will either ignore PHP sessions completely or try to sync them with MediaWiki sessions. Use MediaWiki's session handling methods instead:
SessionManager::getGlobalSession()->set( 'mydata', 'some data' );
As for data disappearing from the session, it is not meant as a persistent storage mechanism and the long-term behavior is entirely dependent on what storage mechanism is configured for it - check $wgSessionCacheType and $wgObjectCacheSessionExpiry.

Tgr, thanks for the info. I tried to make "sync them with MediaWiki sessions", but no success. Would you mind posting the settings to make it work on Windows machine? Again, thanks!

The default settings should keep backwards compatibility with $_SESSION. Your problem is more likely session expiry - as I said "Keep me logged in" does not make the sessions longer, it just detaches the login status from the session. You probably want longer sessions; see the links at the end of my answer. With the default configuration you probably just need to increase $wgObjectCacheSessionExpiry.
