Sessions are like server-side cookie files that store variables that can be read from, or written to, by PHP scripts.
Each session file is unique to the user request that created it and can only be accessed by subsequent requests from the same user.

Sessions are stored on the server side and session ID and name is stored on the client side in cookie(assuming that browser accepts cookie).

The Session data is stored on the Server, typically on the filesystem, but can be in memory or in a DB.
The session_id (used to associate a client with the correct session) is usually stored in a cookie on the client, or, if cookies are turned off, by url rewriting.

Session are stored on server in the tmp directory by default. If PHP script uses any custom session handler using set_session_handler() function to store session in database then it will store in the database.

How it works:
when the script uses session_start() function, server create the unique session id with PHPSESSID,name and MD5 encryption which is defined in php.ini.

this PHPSESSID is sent via header to the browser.

when browser send requests to server the unique seesion id is added in the header and server read this session id to check the request.

--> Session store information about page,

--> Its Server Side Storage

--> Server Is Always Temporary

--> Its Prevent stateless which occur by http protocol in web-site

--> If we want to use session then we have to first start session using session_start() function

The better way is store the sessions server side on database or, if you need high performance loosing scalability, on RAM.
