    PHP Session

    • To maintain state of user on web server


    sessions are used
    Starting session
    • A session is started with
    the session_start() function.
    • Session variables are set with the PHP global
    variable: $_SESSION.
    • The session_start() function must be the very first
    thing in your document. Before any HTML tags.
    • Unique SessionID is created for each visitor
    • String function session_id() returns current
    session_id
    • <?php
    // Start the session
    session_start();
    ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    // Set session variables
    $_SESSION["favcolor"] = "green";
    $_SESSION["favanimal"] = "cat";
    echo "Session variables are set.";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    Get value of session variables
    • all session variable values are stored in the global $_SESSION variable:
    <?php
    session_start();
    ?>
    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    // Echo session variables that were set on previous page
    echo "Favorite color is " . $_SESSION["favcolor"] . ".<br>";
    echo "Favorite animal is " . $_SESSION["favanimal"] . ".";
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
    Destroy a PHP Session
    • To remove all global session variables and destroy the session,
    use session_unset() and session_destroy():
    • <?php
    session_start();
    ?>
    <html>
    <body>
    <?php
    // remove all session variables
    session_unset();
    // destroy the session
    session_destroy();
    ?>
    </body>
    </html>
