PHP Day 15: Sessions
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.

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 Liz
Very interesting website you have. I was wondering the reasioning behind you learning PHP. Are you studying for some kinda degree in programming? or are you just learning this becuase it intrests you?
ive been studying PHP for a few months now. Ive given myself a project for a movies database mysql with php which i have managed to complete sucessfully :o)
my next project is for a local pizza delivery. at the moment they are using the old fashioned pen and paper, but my aim is to change that to a computer and a printer

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.
