is quite incorrect, better:
sessions are per-client variables which are stored onto the server; the unique relationship (session) between a webserver and any browser is ensured by a unique id stored both on the webserver system and (usually) on a special cookie available to the browser. The client stores this id only, not the variables (see Session reference section).
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. All information is in the Session reference section.

sessions are client side variables which are stored onto client
side on which broweser is accessing the page.
the variables are set using function $_SESSION['variablename']=variablevalue;
well known example of using session is shopping cart in which
