helraizer Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 i am new to php , just i want the difference between session and cookies can any one explain me. Thanks in Advance A session is stored in the browser (so to speak) for that particular website so if you return to it, your details still remain, but they usually expire once the browser has been closed. Cookies on the other hand are small text files that are saved to the user's PC, the main difference being that a cookie can be stored for alot longer; down side being they can easily be manipulated/editted by a user.
