PHP Sessions
In this tutorial you will learn how to store certain data on the server on a temporary basis using PHP session.
What is a Session

A PHP session stores data on the server rather than user's computer. In a session based environment, every user is identified through a unique number called session identifier or SID. This unique session ID is used to link each user with their own information on the server like emails, posts, etc.
Tip: The session IDs are randomly generated by the PHP engine which is almost impossible to guess.
