Re: Newbie question: Sessions

Here is how it works. when we create a seesion php creates a file.you can say that this file is a server side cookie.and assigns a unique name to it.and then all the data is stored in that file.when ever you start a seesion this file is made active.and the data inside it is availble to users for use Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.
