I didn’t know what a session was until a couple days ago, so this video shares what I’ve learned so far. It’s a short introduction, three and a half minutes long.
Links for PHP Day 15: Sessions
From the PHP manual:
- PHP: Session Handling Functions – Reference page all about sessions and session-related functions, most of which I haven’t learned about yet.
- PHP: session_start
- PHP: session_destroy
So now I understand the basic syntax, but I won’t really understand sessions until I start using them — and I won’t start using them until I start a project that needs them.

Any more tutorials on php in the works? Creating lots on mini apps?
Hey, thanks for all your comments! I do want to make more PHP videos sometime in the future… I probably won’t get around to it for a while, though.
I still have so much more to learn, too!

Hi Matt, thanks! I envy you — already having a project finished and putting your new PHP skills to good use! It’s been a while now since I’ve learned any more about PHP, unfortunately.
And that’s because I’m busy with college… not studying programming, though. I just think it’s interesting.
That and I just enjoy learning a bunch of random stuff, lol.
