Zend Session

With web applications written using PHP, a session represents a logical, one-to-one connection between server-side, persistent state data and a particular user agent client (e.g. web browser). Zend_Session helps manage and preserve session data, a logical complement of cookie data, across multiple page requests by the same client. Unlike cookie data, session data is not stored on the client side, and it is only shared with the client when server-side source code makes the data available via a response to a request from the client. For the purposes of this component and documentation, session data refers to the server-side data managed by Zend_Session.
