PHP Tutorials — Cookies and Sessions

Cookies is small text files saved locally on the user's computer by the website, when the website later on wants the information it just reads the cookie on the user's computer.

Sessions is a good way for storing temporary data between your pages. A session is usually closed pretty fast after that the user have left the site so as I said, it's good for temporary storage, an example is the user's name or items the user have put in his/her shopping cart.
