Cookies
Client side data store
Can be deleted, manipulated, copied
Behavior is inconsistent
allow your applications to store a small amount of textual data (typically, 4-6kB)
on a Web client
header() - Set cookies manually, using the RFC for the appropriate headers
setcookie() - Wraps the Header function, sets default values when nothing is
passed.
$_COOKIE[]
Cookie values must be scalar.
Sessions
Sessions, The safer way to state
Use a cookie that contains a Session ID
That Session ID corresponds with a local(ish) data store that contains the user’s
information
The Session ID is the only data that is transmitted to a client, and is also the
only thing that identifies them
Session Hijacking and Session Fixation
session.use_trans_sid
session.auto_start
session_start()
$_SESSION[]
bool session_set_save_handler ( callback $open , callback $close , callback $read ,
callback $write , callback $destroy , callback $gc )
