Sessions can be used in two ways:
1. cookie based
2. url based
Most sessions are cookie based. What this means is that when a session is started, a cookie is set on the clients machine with a unique session ID or SID. The session variables are stored typically on a file on the server that matches the unique session ID. When a variable is required, the client or browser looks for the file matching the session ID and retrieves the corresponding variables from it. A typical session file stored in the default session file directory would look like this
sess_fd51ab4d1820aa6ea27a01d439fe9959
