Need to learn more about sessions in PHP

Question

Can anyone provide me some learning resources that focus on session management in PHP? Preferably resources that aren't "dry".

Answer 1

Have you tried php.net's documentation on sessions?

Answer 2

http://www.tizag.com/phpT/phpsessions.php

http://shiflett.org/articles/the-truth-about-sessions - this one is really great from a security perspective.

Answer 3

Here's some information focusing on some different subjects regarding session handling in PHP

• Session Handling (PHP Manual)
• "PHP Session Security" (SO question)
• "What are the risks of PHP sessions" (SO question)

Answer 4

More generally, Wikipedia's session article on session management is not terribly dry.
