Session variables allow information to be stored and retrieved across multiple pages and are used to maintain state about a single user. To use session variables, the session_start() function must be called before any other output and sessions must be started before storing or accessing data. Session data is stored in the $_SESSION superglobal array and can be unset or destroyed to remove it.
