sessions and cookies


mistakes!

Recommended Posts

the simple watered down version:

a session is a method of carrying variables over from 1 page to the next. all the information in the session variables are stored on the server where the script is. a session id is linked to all these variables, and the webbrowser sends the session id to the server when requesting access to a page that accesses those variables.

a cookie is basically a variable with an expiration date that's stored on the user's computer.
