Sessions are variables like cookies. You use them to store data from one page to the next.

Here is the php.net documentation intro on sessions:

'Session support in PHP consists of a way to preserve certain data across subsequent accesses. This enables you to build more customized applications and increase the appeal of your web site.

A visitor accessing your web site is assigned a unique id, the so-called session id. This is either stored in a cookie on the user side or is propagated in the URL.'

Towards the bottom of the page are examples.
