How are session data stored on the server in PHP?

Session data in PHP is typically stored on the server in a temporary directory specified in the php.ini file. To ensure that session data is securely stored, it is recommended to set the session.save_path to a directory that is not accessible to the public. This helps prevent unauthorized access to sensitive session data. 

// Set the session save path to a secure directory
session_save_path('/path/to/secure/directory');

// Start the session
session_start();
