Is it possible to find a previous session if cookie has been deleted?

With traditional file-based sessions you could get the session_save_path directory and scan through the files searching for some particular string. If you find the string, then the session ID is in the name of the file, just extract it and restore it (using session_id prior to session_start).

 

If you are using some other session handler (such as memcache or mysql) you'll need to figure out something else out by looking into how the data is actually saved.

I'm using session_start() is that considered traditional file-based sessions?
