How can session variables be effectively used to store and display messages in PHP applications?

Session variables can be effectively used to store messages in PHP applications by setting a session variable with the message content and then displaying it on the desired page. This allows messages to persist across different pages until they are displayed to the user. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Set a session variable with the message content
$_SESSION['message'] = "Your message here";

// Display the message on the desired page
if(isset($_SESSION['message'])){
    echo $_SESSION['message'];
    unset($_SESSION['message']); // Clear the message after displaying it
}
