session identifier

A session identifier (ID) is a unique token or string used to distinguish individual user sessions. It helps track user interactions and maintain session state across different pages or requests.

How do I implement user sessions and session management in my web application?

To implement user sessions and session management in a web application, you can follow these steps:

– Use a server-side programming language like PHP or Java to handle sessions.
– Generate a unique session identifier for each user upon login.
– Store session data in a server-side storage mechanism like a database or in-memory cache.
– Set the session identifier as a cookie in the user’s browser.
– Use the session identifier to retrieve the session data for each subsequent request.

By implementing session management, you can track and maintain user-specific information throughout their session on the web application.
