How can PHP sessions be used to store and transfer form data between pages?

To store and transfer form data between pages using PHP sessions, you can save the form data in session variables on one page and then retrieve and display them on another page. This allows you to maintain the data across multiple pages without the need to pass it through the URL or form submissions. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Save form data to session variables
$_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['name'];
$_SESSION['email'] = $_POST['email'];

// Redirect to another page
header('Location: nextpage.php');
exit;
```

On the nextpage.php:

```php
// Start the session
session_start();

// Retrieve and display form data from session variables
$name = $_SESSION['name'];
$email = $_SESSION['email'];

echo "Name: $name <br>";
echo "Email: $email";
