This is very simple. I write
$auth->getStorage()->write($user);
And then I want, in a separate process to load this $user, but I can't because
$user = $auth->getIdentity();
is empty. Didn't I just... SET it? Why does it not work? Halp?

This has been asked almost two years ago. Fact is, though, that I repeated the question in July 2010 and got a fantastic answer that I back then simply did not understand.
Link: Zend_Auth fails to write to storage
I have since built a very nice litte class that I use (sometimes with extra tweaking) in all my projects using the same storage engine as Zend_Auth but circumventing all the bad.
<?php
class Qapacity_Helpers_Storage {
public function save($name = 'default', $data) {
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace($name);
$session->data = $data;
return true;
}
public function load($name = 'default', $part = null) {
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace($name);
if (!isset($session->data))
return null;
$data = $session->data;
if ($part && isset($data[$part]))
return $data[$part];
return $data;
}
public function clear($name = 'default') {
$session = new Zend_Session_Namespace($name);
if (isset($session->data))
unset($session->data);
return true;
}
}
?>
It's supposed to work.
Here's the implementation of the Auth getIdentity function.
/**
* Returns the identity from storage or null if no identity is available
*
* @return mixed|null
*/
public function getIdentity()
{
$storage = $this->getStorage();
if ($storage->isEmpty()) {
return null;
}
return $storage->read();
}
Here's the implementation of the PHP Session Storage write and read functions:
/**
* Defined by Zend_Auth_Storage_Interface
*
* @return mixed
*/
public function read()
{
return $this->_session->{$this->_member};
}
/**
* Defined by Zend_Auth_Storage_Interface
*
* @param mixed $contents
* @return void
*/
public function write($contents)
{
$this->_session->{$this->_member} = $contents;
}
Are you sure you are loading the same instance of the Zend_Auth class?
Are you using
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
Maybe you are calling the write method after the getIdentity method?
Anyway, as I said before, what you are doing should work.
