Cookie and session
This document discusses cookies and sessions in PHP. Cookies are used to store small pieces of data on the user's browser and move across pages, avoiding relogging in. Sessions store data on the server and are more secure. PHP uses the setcookie() function to set cookies and $_COOKIE to retrieve them. Sessions are started with session_start() and use $_SESSION to set and retrieve session variables. Cookies can be used to remember the session ID so sessions persist across browser closes.
