1: What is the session?
The session, ie the session control. Users entering the site to shut down this time elapsed, the user is browsing the site takes time. Therefore to be understood from the above definition, session time is a specific concept.
2: Why use the session?
--1: htpp protocol is a stateless protocol: that is a client of this request and the last request do not correspond, http server does not know these two requests from the same client.
httpt short protocol is connected, the server requests the client sends the corresponding link ends.
The advantage is that the server is to reduce the pressure, the disadvantage that every request transfer of large amounts of content information.
--2: session provides a way to define global variables in php script, making this a global variable in the same session are valid for all the php script files.
So http server session is a method for maintaining state-based.
--3: session at http allows the server to keep the session user data throughout the data storage, the session is not only a concept of time, further comprising
a specific user and the server.
3: How it works the session:
1st visit --- "http request, initialization session, create sessionId, will store session data to a predefined variable $ _session in.
Page finished the session information stored in the session file --- "session file
http corresponding (with sessionId) - "display page sessionId stored in a cookie
2nd visit ---" http request (with sessionId)
the session initialization, sessionId read the files as required.
Execute php code
http response --- "display page
page is finished to store session information to the session file
Exit ---"
Notes session, delete the session file.
Session identifier (sesssionId):
the session identifier is a unique identifier, this identifier can be used to read session_id function. When you enable session state for the php application will check each application page requests are sessionId value sent by the browser.
If no sessionID value, php will start a new session and the session sessionId value transmitted together with the response to the browser.
As long as the request has been sent to the same sessionID value, the session is considered active. If the request for a particular session timeout interval exceeds a specified value (in s),
the session is considered expired. If sessionId value expires transmitted request will generate a new session.
Default 24 minutes,
